The Medical Memoir Series Readers Compare to When Breath Becomes Air: Inside A Surgeon's Tale by Dr. Michael Meguid
What does it take to become a surgeon? Not the version you see on television. The real version: the 110-hour workweeks, the first incision, the patient you lose at 3 a.m., the family you barely see, and the childhood wound that drove you into the operating room in the first place.
That is the question at the heart of A Surgeon's Tale, the five-volume medical memoir series by Dr. Michael M. Meguid, Read more of this blog post »

of
Mastering the Knife: Seeking Identity & Finding Belonging (A Surgeon's Tale Book 2):
"Actually I read an ARC of vol 3 of this series by Dr Meguid entitled Surgeons and Lovers. Continuation of the interesting journey from rudderless emotionally abandoned boy to surgeon and emotionally whole man."

| I picked this up on a whim and finished it in two sittings, mostly because I couldn't stop reading bits aloud to my husband. The bakery scenes alone are worth the price. But what surprised me was how honest it is underneath the humor. The author does ...more | |

“We arrived in New York as academic students with non-immigrant visas. Although we didn't see ourselves as immigrants, we had brought all our earthly possessions to America, along with our emotional past and personal histories.”

“Tis a Fearful Thing
‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”
