NEW YORK _ Patricia Schery loves coming to the rescue.
When Schery walked into the newborn nursery at Stony Brook University Hospital one recent morning, nurse Daria Cwalinska was visibly relieved. Cwalinska was holding a crying baby awaiting a circumcision. "He's just very fussy because he's hungry, but he can't eat before the procedure. He's kind of inconsolable right now," Cwalinska explained.
"Oh pumpkin," Schery said to the baby. "Look at him." Then Schery sat in a rocking chair to do her job: cuddle the baby.
