""A Doctor Is Born"" is a memoir written by Wallace Dalton Chesney, chronicling his journey from a small town in Georgia to becoming a medical doctor. The book begins with Chesney's childhood, where he developed an interest in medicine after witnessing the death of his grandfather due to a lack of proper medical care. Chesney's determination to become a doctor led him to attend Emory University, where he faced numerous challenges, including financial struggles and discrimination due to his race. Despite these obstacles, Chesney persevered and ultimately graduated from medical school. The book also highlights Chesney's experiences as a doctor, including his work as a physician in the US Army during World War II and his practice in rural Georgia. Throughout the book, Chesney reflects on the importance of education, hard work, and determination in achieving one's goals.
