The Kidnapping of Baby John Doe

A young child with Down Syndrome is given a devastating prognosis, and the doctor suggests letting nature take its course without medical intervention. In a surprising twist, the child's crib is moved to a hospital storage room.

A mother welcomes her newborn child with Down Syndrome, but the doctor's initial prognosis is grim, suggesting the child may not survive. As the child's cries become unbearable, hospital staff abandon him, leading a compassionate nurse to secretly seek out medical attention from an intern, who performs a life-saving surgery in her own home.
