Ever wondered what hospital life is really like? On November 18, physicians at MUSC Children’s Hospital took members of the South Carolina legislative delegation on a behind-the-scenes look at one of the top children’s hospitals in the country. Legislators shadowed pediatric specialists to see everything from the technology that helps save the hearts of tiny infants to learning about the life-saving procedures to care for children with cancer, transplant bone marrow and perform world-class research.
