A Chance to Breathe - by Renato Lima

In 60 seconds, a lot can change. In that short space of time, sometimes, lies one of the first victories that the unborn will have. What exactly happens in one minute? The difference between crying and silence is what a great professional, a doctor, will do to say yes to life. Renato Lima is well aware of this struggle to save each baby in his daily life as a pediatrician. From your hands, the little ones receive the first care to have a chance, just to breathe. With great affection, the author of this work shows how he performed in an intervention study that, through the methodology of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program of the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics, transformed a reality by bringing knowledge to health professionals and reducing deaths in birthplaces in the backlands of Piauí. His stories are full of humanity, of someone who works for others and has a lot to teach readers, regardless of their field of activity. The lessons described here move emotions and show how it is possible to win any battle, as long as there is commitment and you do your best so that, even in the difficult moments of postpartum, it is transformed into a unique event, of much happiness and celebration.
