Meet Dr.Q , He Went From
Migrant Worker to Brain Surgeon !!!

Alfredo Quiñones Hinojosa is a very important name that all Latinos need to know. He is Director of the Brain Tumor Surgery Program at Johns Hopkins Hospital, which is part of Johns Hopkins University . In case you DID NOT know , this is one of the best hospitals in the WORLD . Dr. Q came to this country as an illegal and worked the fields of the San Joaquin Valley in the great state of California at the young age of 19 .
Really Really soon after getting here and NOT liking field work , he decided to go to community college.
This is where the good Doctor got on the path to Citizenship and Medicine and in 10 years had his Medical degree from Harvard and graduated with Honors . UC San Francisco is where he did his residency and the rest , as they say , is history .
“Becoming Dr. Q: My Journey from Migrant Farm Worker to Brain Surgeon” is the book that tells the journey of his life from 19 year old illegal to Brain Surgeon , TheBochinche has this book and you should have it too !!!!! “The brain,” Dr.Q , is quoted as saying “is the ultimate organ. Once you open it up there is no difference whether you are Black, White, Hispanic, Jewish, or Christian. We are all the same.”
The message here is obvious , believe in yourself and work hard because you too can be great!!!
That's TheBochinche !!!!!
