Abstract
It is a pleasure to discuss such a clear and straightforward approach to a problem so many of us have found so difficult. Drs. Gabriel and Danilowicz are probably in more fortunate circumstances than many of us who have tried to get both hospital administrators and pediatric and orthopedic sugreons to recognize the importance of family access to children and to provide for overnight stay. In a recent discussion between Dane Prugh and the past President of the Academy of Pediatrics, they agreed that no more than 10% of hospitals serving children either recognize or provide for family access to children.
