Healing Children: A Surgeon's Stories from the Frontiers of Pediatric Medicine

A National Bestseller

An â€œastounding and miraculous â€ (Madeline Levine) medical memoir by one of our nationâ€™s leading pediatric surgeons-- the visionary head of Childrenâ€™s NationalÂ

Anyone who has seen a child recover from a wound or a broken bone knows that kids are made to heal. Their bodies are more resilient, more adaptive, and far more able to withstand acute stress than adultsâ€™. In this inspiring memoir, Dr. Kurt Newman draws from his long experience as a pediatric surgeon working at one of our nationâ€™s top childrenâ€™s hospitals to make the case that children are more than miniature adults. Through the story of his own career and of the brave kids he has treated over the yearsâ€”and their equally brave and tenacious parentsâ€”he reveals the revolution that is taking place in pediatric medicine.

When he decided to become a pediatric surgeon, the field was in its infancy, struggling for esteem. Now, nearly forty years later, it is at the forefront of exhilarating new discoveries in everything from cancer research to mental health care. But few parents know how to access the best care for their children. Far too many find themselves frustrated and afraid.
Â
Dr. Newman wrote this book to help guide parentsâ€”not just of sick kids but of all kids â€”and to share his knowledge of what children need to thrive. A deeply human story with a spectacular cast of young heroes and heroines, Healing Children will convince you that we still have a lot to learn from our kids.
