Primero, los niños: Memorias de una cirujano desde las fronteras de la medicina pediátrica

«Un libro conmovedor para cualquiera que desee comprender las bellezas y los misterios de la salud infantil» WALTER ISAACSON autor de los bestseller Steve Jobs. La biografía y Einstein. Su vida y su universo Cualquiera que haya visto a un niño recuperarse de una herida o de un hueso roto sabe que están hechos para sanar. Y en esta apasionante colección de memorias, el doctor Kurt Newman, líder de la cirugía pediátrica en Estados Unidos, recupera los episodios más extraordinarios de su carrera para mostrarnos la importancia de tratar a los niños como algo más que adultos miniatura. ¿Por qué es importante la atención pediátrica especializada?, ¿cómo pueden contribuir los padres a la recuperación de sus hijos?, ¿qué lecciones debemos aprender sobre la capacidad de sanar de niños y adolescentes? Éstas son algunas de las cuestiones abordadas por el doctor Newman, quien no sólo narra los hitos de la pediatría a lo largo de treinta años de práctica médica, sino que, a través de emotivos relatos y de sus pequeños y heroicos protagonistas, ofrece lecciones de ética profesional y humildad a los futuros profesionales de la medicina. Sin lugar a dudas, Primero, los niños es un libro profundamente humano, capaz de convencernos de que todavía hay mucho que podemos aprender de nuestros niños. «Escribir este libro es una verdadera labor de amor: por la medicina pediátrica, por los valientes niños y sus familias que me inspiran cada día, y por los mentores y amigos que me han guiado a lo largo de mi carrera» DOCTOR KURT NEWMAN

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

A groundbreaking medical memoir by one of our nation's leading pediatric surgeons the visionary head of Children's National. 'If you did nothing but read the astounding, miraculous and occasionally crushing stories that Dr. Newman so vividly relates about daily life in a pediatric hospital you would be enthralled byHealing Children. But there is a bigger truth to this book, a more compelling reason to read it. And that is to acknowledge not only the courage of young patients and pediatric physicians alike, but to be brought fact to face with the many ways that we don't prioritize children's health. . .Healing Childrenis an amazing look at the tenacity and courage of kids and doctors under difficult circumstances.' -- Madeline Levine, Ph.D. author ofThe Price of Privilege 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 adults'. In this inspiring memoir, Dr. Kurt Newman draws from his long experience as a pediatric surgeon working at one of our nation's top children'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 years and their equally brave and tenacious parents 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. Dr. Newman wrote this book to help guide parents not just of sick kids but of all kids 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.
