Description: "Hospitals, white, hygienic, and routined, hide behind their
impersonal walls the perpetual struggle for life against death. They have an
atmosphere of hushed mystery for most of us. But to those who live in them,
doctors, patients, nurses, interns, and a host of others, life behind those
walls is urgent and intimate, romance is sudden and strained, human emotions
are tuned to the rhythm of birth and death and the intense dramas that lie
between."
