...takový je život - Povídání s průkopníkem neonatologické péče – Karásková Ivana (2018)

A conversation with the pioneer of neonatal care, Miloš Velemínský. The second father of thousands of South Bohemians – this flattering title was bestowed upon Professor Miloš Velemínský in his native region. He has repeatedly demonstrated that he is not only a knowledgeable pediatrician but, above all, a doctor with a sensitive soul. This publication compellingly illustrates this through the stories he has gathered during his long practice. Each of them introduces the theme of the subsequent conversation. Often, they are harrowing tales, where the protagonists struggle with unspeakably difficult circumstances. At the same time, they bear witness to extraordinary parental selflessness and will. Professor Velemínský is among the pioneers of neonatal care in the Czech Republic. He has always regarded his patients and their parents as equal partners in the shared fight against illness. He understands bodily ailments in the broader context of the family environment. He has never been solely interested in the health of his young patients; he is also sensitive to their fate.
