Acknowledgments
Many people have made it possible for me to complete this work. I am particularly grateful to the children who let me into their worlds at times when they had many problems and who taught me so much.
The hospital administrators and personnel were of tremendous assistance, and some of them provided me with valuable insights into the realities of hospital life.
I would like to thank Rene C. Fox and Arlene Daniels for their thorough and helpful readings of the manuscript and the faculty of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania, who gave me the opportunity to test my ideas against a tough audience.
I am especially grateful to Martha Pollack, who typed the manuscript with care and interest, and to Robert Erwin of the University of Pennsylvania Press for his interest and encouragement. Nancy Post, Tom Kim, Donna Sue Brown, and Laura Elias were invaluable research aides and trackers of statistics.
I am also deeply thankful for the opportunity to have known several physician-friends: Chek Beuf, Anna Marie Chirico, Luther Brady, Ernest Rosato, and Peter Farrell. They have demonstrated on a daily basis that clinical excellence and humanistic concern for the patient are not mutually exclusive.

Acknowledgments to the second edition
I would like to thank Donna Sue Brown and Tom Kim for their help with the research and footnote-tracking; Marion Doherty and Marge Stauffer for their successful efforts to decipher my handwriting in typing the additions to the manuscript; colleagues Don Huffman, Maynard Cressman, and Cate Cameron at Cedar Crest College, and Judith Porter at Bryn Mawr College, for their support and encouragement; and my very helpful editor, Pat Smith, for a thousand good ideas and kind deeds. I am ever grateful to my children and, now, my grandchild, for keeping me going. Thanks, too, to Vartan Gregorian, for keeping the faith.
