Healing Children

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.
