Nineteen current and former faculty of Children’s Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics write about their life-changing experiences as healthcare providers in a new book, “Miracles We Have Seen: America’s Leading Physicians Share Stories They Can’t Forget.”
Professor and Vice Chair Emeritus Harley A. Rotbart, M.D., a nationally-renowned parenting expert, pediatrician, speaker, and educator practicing at Children’s Colorado, edited the book, which was released last month. Each of the 75 essayists was invited to designate a favorite charity, and Dr. Rotbart is donating 100% of net author proceeds to those charities, including Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation, listed at the back of the book.
“Miracles We Have Seen” is a collection of 85 essays written by renowned specialists in virtually every field of medicine. The essays recount, in moving everyday language, clinical events which stunned the physicians and everyone else involved – impossible cures, breathtaking resuscitations, extraordinary awakenings, spectacular serendipities, and recovery from unimaginable disasters. Still other physicians wrote of experiences in which the miracle was more emotional than physical, yet also left a lasting imprint. And others share the discovery of a silver lining of forgiveness or resilience, a child’s wisdom or a family’s generosity of spirit, which evoked salvation and triumph in the face of sadness and tragedy.
Essays from Children’s Colorado doctors featured in the book include some of the following compelling stories:
Since its release, “Miracles We Have Seen” has reached the bestseller lists on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
