- Abstract
This article, titled "Attending," recounts a poignant moment in a medical session where residents share their experiences with patients and colleagues. One resident shares his struggle with a demanding attending physician, known for her clinical expertise. The session takes a somber turn when they are called to the bedside of a 14-month-old baby who has passed away due to medical complications. The attending physician offers support to the grieving mother by embracing her and sitting on the floor together, symbolizing the limitations of medicine and the power of empathy. The article, written by Sylvia S. Villarreal, provides a moving account of this encounter.
