Dr. Novick offers a gripping narration of his unconventional path, starting with his early interests in NASA before a pivot to medicine led him to become a world-class pediatric heart surgeon. His dedication to sharing knowledge-starting with his missions to Colombia-and his bravery in practicing in war-torn regions where few others dared to go, is nothing short of heroic.
Beyond his surgical skills in helping children with congenital heart defects in distressed, war-torn countries, training local doctors in other countries to handle these patients, the book is a masterclass in the 'healer's touch, ' reminding us how the sages of medicine intended us to interact with the sick. I was also deeply moved by his tribute to his wife, whose support while raising their children made his global mission possible. This is a must-read for any aspiring physician or healthcare professional seeking to rediscover the true heart of service
