Healing Children by Kurt Newman
Anyone who has seen a child recover from a deep cut or a broken bone knows that kids are made to heal. Their bodies are more resilient and adaptive than adults. And yet children are often treated as an afterthought by the medical establishment and seen by doctors who have little or no paediatric training. In this deeply inspiring memoir Dr. Kurt Newman draws from his long experience as a paediatric surgeon working at one of our nation's top children's hospitals to make the case that children are more than miniature adults.
Kurt Newman, MD, is president and CEO of Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., widely recognized as one of the nation's best pediatric hospitals. Dr. Newman has been a surgeon at Children's National for over thirty years and is a professor of surgery and pediatrics at George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. He helped create the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, dedicated to making children's surgery pain free and less invasive. A strong advocate for the expansion of mental health treatment access for kids, he is actively involved in improving pediatric health nationally through his work on the boards of the Children's Hospital Association and Safe Kids Worldwide. He and his wife Alison are the parents of two college age sons and live in Bethesda, Maryland.
