"“Monologues of a Pediatric Surgeon, is an illuminating account of a preeminent pediatric surgeon’s perseverance and persistence in challenging dogma. The medical student will be moved to switch from medicine to pediatric surgery. The pediatric surgeon will come to appreciate it and he/she too can move beyond the levels of expertise he/she thought possible.The core message of Monologues is to develop your life as an artist creates a work of art. One can learn that it is the sheer joy and the hard work of being a pediatric surgeon that allows one to delve deeper and deeper into that well of creative genius inside all of us.Compassion, empathy, and heart felt concern for the life-long well-being of Dr. Peña’s patient’s leaps off the pages. Early in the book we learn of a very personal point of reference for why the author pursued pediatric surgery and how he strove to be one of the most caring and compassionate surgeons.”~Dr. Victor Garcia"

Let me start by saying that I'm not in the medical field, but I enjoyed this reading very much. This book is a sincere narration of the experiences that the author lived during his long career. Rather taking credit for all of his success (which is quite impresive), Dr Pena describes in a very humbling way his gratitude for the people that has helped him during the years, and his admiration for the parents of his patients who will go above and beyond anything for their children. Using a series of short stories, Dr Pena shows a very human side of the medical field.When I closed the book at the end, there was a tear on the corner of my eye and a smile on my face.
I phoned Dr. Pena's office a few weeks ago to ask a question about my daughter. (I had quadruplets in1991) Not about the daughter he had operated on two decades ago, but her sister. Dr. Pena himself answered the phone and immediately recognized our family. We spoke for 20 minutes; catching up first then discussing the reason for my call. It is the type of man he is. The book is his voice; passionate and frank. I'm thrilled I heard his voice in my head as I read it. Dr. Pena was one of the first surgeons we worked with and set the standard for how I determined how to select all doctors afterwards. You may think it's written simply, but you will find it touches every level of your life.
I bought this book after Dr. Pena helped a family member. I traveled from Pennsylvania to his clinic to benefit from his expertise! His care changed our family's life. A true angel and scholar! When I became aware that he wrote a book I wanted to read it! As an advanced practice nurse and a mother, I continue to be impressed with this man's grace. Beautiful book....inspirational and lovely! If you are interested in how a true physician thinks and moves buy this book, read it, and be moved! A true gem of a doctor!
I am referring to both the book and Dr. Pena. I read his book because he greatly helped my grandson and consequently our whole family. This book has a much wider application, however, than just the families of his patients who admire and want to know more about him. It should be required reading for all aspiring pediatric surgeons and made available in a paperback form so that it could be much more widely circulated. It is the most inspirational biography I have ever read - and I have read hundreds.
