Critics Review
“I am very proud of [Kristine] as an able surgeon and a true leader. I have no doubt this book will guide and encourage many future healthcare workers.” –Dr. Hisashi Nikaidoh, MD; pediatric heart surgeon and author of Healing Hearts
“Whether you have an interest in pediatric heart problems, love the opportunity to peek into someone else’s life, or are considering a career in the medical profession, this book makes compelling reading. The volume of information and human-interest content will have you riveted to every single page.” –Midwest Book Review
“Dr. Kristine Guleserian is a profoundly respected surgeon, and humanist, who represents the too rarely witnessed palpable, caring, doctor-patient relationship.” –Grady Harp, MD
”“[Surgeon’s Story] presents the reader with vivid insight, and is a testament to the legions of men and women who selflessly devote their lives to the well-being of others. ‘Success is measured by the lives that are touched, not the dollars that are earned’ is a sentiment that Surgeon’s Story brings home and nails it to the wall. A must read for
anyone contemplating a career in the healing arts.” –William A. Erdman M.D., Professor and Residency Program Director (Nuclear Medicine) at the UT Southwestern Medical Center (Ret.), and Medical Director Nuclear Medicine Division at the Parkland Memorial Hospital (Ret.)
