A Surgeon's Heart: The Calling is an endearing medical theme romance, featuring Jack Roberts, a well-respected pediatric heart surgeon and leader of his profession. When his compassion and dedication to his young patients are challenged by an ever changing health care environment, Jack remains steadfast in following the calling of his heart. Inspired as a boy with the idea of being a surgeon, Jack struggles to overcome numerous obstacles along the way to becoming a well-respected physician leader. But, with the dawn of the twenty-first century, the world of medicine begins to change, threatening his traditional beliefs and commitments as outside forces attempt to gain control over his profession. These pages are filled with his passion and enthusiasm as a dedicated healer who is ultimately defined by critical situations, including his greatest challenge that arises unexpectedly during a foreign medical mission. The events that follow forever change his life. The Calling will make you laugh, and make you cry, often on the same page, as it provides a unique insight into the real world of health care from an experienced surgeon's perspective. While the future of medicine remains uncertain, there is reason for hope, as long as people like Jack continue to answer the call.
