Now, readers can experience his journey from migrant farm worker to to brain surgeon.  His book, *Becoming Dr. Q*, is due out October 1, 2011 and will be available in bookstores and online. Dr. Q shares his story with audiences worldwide.  [Contact us](http://www.speakinc.com/contactus.php) for details.
