No Crying in the Operating Room: My Life as an International Relief Doctor, from Haiti, to South Sudan, to the Syrian Civil War:
"5/5 ⭐️
This book was extremely powerful, especially with her own personal experiences not only within the hospital and injures, but relationships with other doctors and family. A quick but much needed read to open your eyes." |

No Crying in the Operating Room: My Life as an International Relief Doctor, from Haiti, to South Sudan, to the Syrian Civil War:
"An honest, sometimes raw look into the real life of Dr Cecily Wang who became a trauma surgeon and an ICU physician. She took her skills and compassion to help and heal outside of the US and also in the US. I really enjoyed reading her story. Thank y"

“I do feel we have a certain obligation to not lie to ourselves and a responsibility to figure out the truth, no matter where that might take us. If we’re content with living in ignorance, we’re doing ourselves a disservice.”

“Nevertheless, international missions have an addictive quality. There’s something magical about them. Maybe it’s the dopamine rushes we get from being needed and appreciated. Or the sense of purpose and belonging that we feel. Or the basic honesty of the work itself. We might witness horrific scenes, but on our return we miss the sense of purpose and camaraderie that went with it. For some, returning to mission work is the only way to experience that feeling again.”

“We Americans tend to see death as an enemy to fight at all costs. But what exactly are we fighting? The people in developing countries don’t cherish their loved ones any less. They celebrate the person’s death in the same way they celebrated their life.”
