DOGMEAT: A Memoir of Love and Neurosurgery in San Francisco

by Moris Senegor

Ambitious and cocky, a young neurosurgery resident left his hometown of Chicago for what became an unforgettable adventure in San Francisco, both exhilarating and disheartening, destined to irrevocably change his future. "Dogmeat" was the moniker he was given as apprentice to a famous—and famously intimidating—neurosurgeon. Moris Senegor gives a disarmingly honest account of his "Dogmeat" days in the wards and operating rooms of UCSF. He also vividly recounts how he fell in love with San Francisco and a woman he found there. His story is for both surgeons and anyone ever beguiled by San Francisco.

I enjoyed listening to this book. John Gully did a great job of narrating this book. I loved all the descriptions of San Francisco. San Francisco is such a lovely city and Moris Senegor did a nice job of telling about his time in this lovely place. I was gifted this book with the understanding that I would leave an honest review.

3.5 stars. Quite interesting read of a book that's been read by, like, maybe 20 people.
