Publisher's Summary

A courageous memoir that spans 40 years of Dinaaz's life experiences within our health care system. The story is raw, thought-provoking, and a brilliant look at complications and uncertainties when a medical challenge being faced is rare and uncertain. An extremely powerful example of how self-belief and trusting your own gut instinct can allow you to overcome any of life's challenges. 

"A must (listen) for every doctor and medical student." (Dr. Stephen Thornley)

"Battle Scars is very valuable to inspire people to not lose hope, and also for physicians to keep updating and deepening their study in medicine and their respective specialties." (Dr. (Professor) Jenaro Fernández-Valencia, department of orthopedic surgery, University of Barcelona, Spain)

"Battle Scars beautifully illustrates the human impact of our profession upon those whom we serve. Reflecting on Dinaaz's experience provides a strong reminder about what it is like to be a patient on the receiving side of complications, disappointment and uncertainty. Despite significant adversity, her perseverance, resilience and compassion represent an inspirational story of personal character and strength." (Dr. Patrick Weinrauch, orthopedic surgeon)

Never back down

"Battle Scars" is like sitting down with Dinaaz and hearing her life story over a cup of coffee. For 40 years, she's been navigating the wild rollercoaster of our healthcare system, and man, does she have tales to tell. It's raw, real, and makes you think twice about everything. But more than the medical ups and downs, it's about that fire in the belly – trusting your gut and believing in yourself. If you've ever faced a tough spot in life and thought, "Can I really get through this?", give this a read. Dinaaz's story might just be the nudge you need. Cheers to the fighters out there!

Great!!!!

I love listening to Dinaaz’s voice - very calm and relaxing! Good to listen to before you sleep, when go for your walks and definitely when you are with nature. The story is very genuine, real and delivered naturally that you will feel like you are with her in every episode of her life. When you like spending time in solitude, this book is definitely the best book to listen to!
