Overview

Take Your Baby and Run is Carol Youngson's first-hand account of the shocking ineptitude and misogynistic behaviour that led to the death of twelve children, primarily infants, under the care of Dr. Jonah Odim at Winnipeg's largest hospital in 1994. Youngson was the nurse in charge of the cardiac unit and in her book she details the dysfunctional hospital hierarchy that allowed this tragedy to unfold, leading to the longest running inquiry in Canadian history. Sadly, the themes of this book are just as relevant today during our current health crisis. Foreword by Lanette Siragusa, RN NM.

"""Take Your Baby And Run will prove to be of particular and special value to readers with an interest in systemic medical malpractice. Part memoir, part medical malfeasance whistle-blowing, and essential reading for medical reform activists."" --Andrea Kay, Midwest Book Reviews ""Youngson's attention to detail in this hospital nightmare is impressive, and her sympathy for the parents of these dead babies and kids is demonstrably genuine and lasting. Her play-by-play of the operations she saw is so intimate you risk weeping as these little bodies die on the operating table or shortly after."" --Barry Craig, Winnipeg Free Press"
