PATIENT STORIES
Amazing Things are Happening Here
"Dr. Souweidane doesn’t perceive his occupation just as a profession, but as a humanitarian mission to save lives."
Amanda Hsaio’s daughter Leni had been a happy, healthy baby. But at age 3 months, something was clearly wrong. The question was, what? Amanda’s pediatrician didn’t know, so she sent them to NewYork-Presbyterian. A team of pediatric specialists discovered that Leni had a very rare form of leukemia and started treatment immediately. Thus began a year-long effort to save Leni’s life, a journey that included chemotherapy, a liver transplant and gall bladder surgery.
