Produktbeschreibung
The birthing of a new baby is one of life's great medical and human dramas. When it goes well, it is a loud and joyful mess. But when it goes badly, it is a travesty, devastating not only to hopeful mothers, but also to their doctors regardless of how well they have learned to anticipate and navigate the myriad hazards of obstetric medicine. Catching Babies charts the professional and personal struggles of those doctors. In the halls of a busy metropolitan teaching hospital, a group of OB/GYN doctors complete their residencies and embark on ambitious careers, all while trying to hold their lives together at the seams. Based on true stories from delivery rooms and labor decks, Catching Babies spins the doctors' stories into a gripping mosaic of the obsessions, the anxieties, and the heroism of doctors who have chosen to preside over life's greatest medical drama: high-risk childbirth.

Autorenporträt
J.D. Kleinke was a serious health care guy in Baltimore until he discovered snowboarding, hang gliding, jam bands, and the raw spiritual power of life above treeline . . . and moved to Colorado. He lived and worked there from 1997 until 2004, where he was an avid mountaineer and backcountry snowboarder and skier. J.D. is the author of Catching Babies, a medical novel, and Dudeville, a sensuous, lyrical, exuberant love story set in the American West. He also wrote Bleeding Edge and Oxymorons, two works of non-fiction about the American health care system. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and dozens of business and medical publications.
