I recently participated in an author Q&A with the Washington Independent Review of Books about my new medical memoir, Healing Children.

When I was asked about the most challenging part of writing my first book, the answer was very easy: deciding which stories to tell!

I’ve had so many inspiring patients, colleagues, and mentors over the years, and each one has helped shape my views on pediatric medicine and what it takes to care for kids. I started this process with many more stories than could fit into one salient book…Every one of my patients has a special place in my heart and memory — I wish I could share them all.

Proceeds from Healing Children got to the Pediatric Health Opportunity Fund — a charity supporting research and innovation at Children’s National and other research centers.
