'To Hurt and to Heal' is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Laura Sky and released in 1986.[Carole Corbeil, "To Hurt and to Heal: Baby picture not pretty, but compelling". 'The Globe and Mail', September 19, 1987.] The film presents a portrait of neonatal medical care, centred on the stories of three children: a child was born premature and survived for six weeks before his death; a "miracle baby" who was saved by emergency heart surgery; and a child who was left disabled by an emergency tracheotomy that left him permanently unable to ever breathe on his own without a mechanical respirator.[
