I would strongly recommend reading this perspective article about how a physician and his husband have cared for a little boy with ESRD who required 16 hospitalizations before he turned 4 years ago.  The author emphasizes the importance of beginning inpatient rounding by asking parents about their concerns.  He also asks providers to think about spending more time with their patients and families.
