The pope has met with some of the smallest patients at the Vatican's pediatric hospital. They are children and teenagers who are starring in a docu-reality for an Italian channel about the experiences of youth and their families in hospitals. ;<\/p>\n
'Without the Bambin Ges\u00f9 hospital I would not be here talking to you. It's very probable I would have died long ago.'<\/p>\n
'I want to thank all the doctors, who are a great team, although I often treat them badly. It's a fantastic hospital.'<\/p>\n
The pope thanked the doctors and the children's families, because they have helped fill the patients with the medicine he said is most important: 'affection.'<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS
\n'There is the danger, the risk of forgetting that the most important medicine can only be given by a family: caresses. But if this is a Catholic hospital, wait, to be Catholic, you have to be human first. And you give a witness to humanity today.'<\/p>\n
The pope signed several photos for friends who were still in the hospital, but was moved by the shyness of this little boy.<\/p>\n
That is why, before leaving, he especially greeted him.<\/p>\n
