My life was forever changed on June 14, 1985. I was finishing my third year of medical school that summer and expecting my firstborn child in a few weeks. My idealistic world was shattered abruptly that day, and it led directly to experiencing a miracle firsthand. It has become my mission to relate this miraculous, divine intervention to as many people as possible, and that is the basis for writing this book. It has taken me years to write about this most painful time in my life as well as the most glorious. It is still painful to even read what I have recounted here for you. I hope that I can bring some sense of peace and understanding to people who are suffering from a lack of reasoning or explanation for what they may be going through in their own lives. My son, Nicholas, was born unexpectedly that summer morning without any signs of life. He endured an extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the operating room and a prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) hospital course in a deep coma, with full life support on 100 percent oxygen. This true story is the description of a miracle that led to his complete and sudden recovery, with no signs of brain injury or other adverse sequela. I am in a unique position to evaluate the events surrounding this miracle because of my medical background. the purpose of this book is to bring the message of Divine love and intervention to those most in need of understanding. the devotion to the Miraculous Infant Jesus of Prague has been around since the seventeenth century and will continue until the end of time. It should be no surprise that this icon of regal divinity should be found in most of our Catholic churches throughout the world, centuries after the devotion first began.

As medical science progressed through the nineteenth century, the United States was at the forefront of public health initiatives across the Americas. Dreadful sanitary conditions were relieved, lives were saved, and health care developed into a formidable institution throughout Latin America as doctors and bureaucrats from the United States flexed their scientific muscle. This wasn't a purely altruistic enterprise, however, as Jose Amador reveals in Medicine and Nation Building in the Americas, 1890-1940. Rather, these efforts almost served as a precursor to modern American interventionism. For places like Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Brazil, these initiatives were especially invasive. Drawing on sources in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and the United States, Amador shows that initiatives launched in colonial settings laid the foundation for the rise of public health programs in the hemisphere and transformed debates about the formation of national culture. Writers rethought theories of environmental and racial danger, while Cuban reformers invoked the yellow fever campaign to exclude nonwhite immigrants. Puerto Rican peasants flooded hookworm treatment stations, and Brazilian sanitarians embraced regionalist and imperialist ideologies. Together, these groups illustrated that public health campaigns developed in the shadow of empire propelled new conflicts and conversations about achieving modernity and progress in the tropics. This book is a recipient of the annual Norman L. and Roselea J. Goldberg Prize for the best project in the area of medicine.
