In the medical professions, those of the operative staff in the pediatric wards are perhaps the most delicate and sensitive.

These nurses and doctors are constantly in contact with harsh realities, which have a considerable impact on their temperament and disposition.

In the case of the American nurse Jess Hamm, the impact was also on her personal life! In fact, after taking care of the two twin girls who were victims of child abuse, she made a decision that would forever change the course of both her and their lives.
