Reviews for Becoming Dr. Q
5 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found the journey of Dr Q from a small town in Mexico to an operating room and research lab in Baltimore to be quite inspiring. I think he is an example of "...every man and woman - being the architect of their own destiny." He has also made me think about his statement that: No matter how different we are from one another... our brains are all the same."
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another inspiring story of overcoming the odds. Dr. Quiñones grew up poor in Mexico and worked in the fields of California, yet 10 years later enrolls in medical school at Harvard and today is a leading neurosurgeon and scientist. Dr. Q is earnest and enthusiastic about sharing his story (witness the many exclamation points he uses), always tying his successes back to his roots and family. His story also provides a tantalizing glimpse of what brain surgery is and what it takes to succeed in the field, sometimes at the cost of other priorities.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am guessing, here in January of 2012, that this will be among my all time favorite books read. What an incredible man he is! This is a perfectly wonderful, emotional, motivational, dramatic, etc., etc., book about a life that, thank goodness, Dr. Q is only in the middle of----he'll be able to write another book about his life later on--maybe to help all the rest of us learn to live each day more to its full potential as well as to treat everyone, absolutely everyone, with the respect they deserve as a fellow human being on this earth.
