This fiftieth-anniversary edition of the story originally published to ease fears about the hospital features an afterword by Boston Children's Hospital's Dr. Frederick H. Lovejoy Jr. explaining how some things have changed ("men and women serve as both nurses and as physicians"), while others, such as the high quality of care, remain the same. A free audio download read by John Krasinski is available.
