From Bedlam to Bedside: The Mad Odyssey of Creating Doctors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798296310729)

What really happens in the world of medical education is little known to the general public, as the wannabe doctor, with a penchant for tortuous hard work and a touch of insanity, is thrown into hell-fire. This book is an audacious look into this world and into a doctor's odyssey, a mad roller-coaster ride of disparate experiences that are insanely brutal and wildly bizarre, absurdly funny and movingly poignant. The "why's and how's" of medical education are sharply brought to light by one who has survived this journey, struggling through adversity in many forms-soul-crushing humiliation, financial hardship, frightening racism and caring for patients in dire circumstances-but heavily blended with life-changing and mind-blowing experiences. At its heart, this whimsical book inspires others to chase a dream, by showing how a 12-year-old boy--a painfully shy and weak kid from humble beginnings, with neither in-born talent nor privileged upbringing--realized his dream and became a doctor.
