Synopsis

"Wonderfully honest, vulnerable, insightful, and brilliantly written." — Amazon Review

Some patients weigh less than a can of Coke.

They cannot speak. They cannot cry loud enough to be heard down the hall. Their entire world fits inside a clear plastic box, and the line between the life they might live and the one they may not is sometimes measured in grams, in minutes, in the steadiness of a single pair of hands.

Dr. Chris DeRienzo spent years as a neonatologist standing at the edge of that line.

Tiny Medicine is what he learned there.

It is a book about the families who taught him that hope is not a feeling but a discipline. About the colleagues who showed him that competence is incomplete without compassion. About the babies whose names he still remembers, and the ones whose names he never had the chance to get to know. And it is about what happens when a young doctor carries those lessons out of the NICU and into the rest of his life, into hospital boardrooms, marriage, fatherhood, and the 3 a.m. moments when leaders ask themselves whether they are the person their people believe them to be.

Written with the precision of a clinician, the candor of a father, and the unexpected humor of someone who has learned that you cannot survive this world without it, Tiny Medicine is the rare medical memoir that does not flinch and does not posture. It is honest about the losses. It is generous with the lessons. And it will leave you thinking differently about every fragile thing in your own life, whether you wear a stethoscope or not.
