Ho who stoops to help a child stands tall among men. Patients and staff use their many talents to create a home away from home. James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Hospital for Children, the only children's hospital in Indiana, provided many memorable moments. Children came from all over the state to seek healing from the collective wisdom of the Riley physicians. Children are not just tiny adults. They have special- ized problems requiring specialized care. Frequently these loving, trusting, pleasant children became thrashing, screaming, unreasonable bundles of trouble as they were introduced to their first diag- nostic or therapeutic procedure. If only they could understand that the little hurts were necessary to heal the big hurts. When a particularly sick child got well and went home, a very special feeling of warmth was generated in all who helped care for this child. Laughing, playing and working with these little ones provided insight into life and death. While working closely with the Riley patients, one saw an inner strength which allowed them to accept the decisions and therapies necessary to help them live a full life. Another one of the exceptional children at Riley Hospital. 22
