The piece is reported by NBC chief medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman, formerly a LR physician and KATV-7 health reporter before going nationwide in the 80s. She actually "scrubs in" to go into surgery with young doctors-in-training. Here she discusses her return to Arkansas Children's Hospital to make this film.

Here's the hour-long film itself. A warning: it includes some really emotional stuff. There's one particular moment near the end when a preemie is unplugged from life support, wrapped in a pink blanket and given to the weeping teenage parents. Tough to watch.
