Publisher's Summary

Have you ever wondered what a surgical residency is like?

Becoming a Surgeon is an inspirational account of Dr. Joe Garri's time spent in general surgery residency. Recounting five years of training through real-life anecdotes and interesting personalities, this compelling book peers through the retrospective lens from Dr. Garri's many years of private practice.

While autobiographical, Becoming a Surgeon is in some ways a universal story reflecting the experience of many surgical residents in Western medicine. Each chapter deals with topics related to the training of surgeons, including the personal sacrifice involved and the challenges of learning the craft. It also addresses the heartwarming and heart-breaking experiences in dealing with patients and their families.

Becoming a Surgeon is a must-listen for anyone interested in medicine, surgery, or the training by which surgeons are forged. If you want to learn about doctor-patient dynamics and the interactions of young doctors with students, colleagues, and mentors, this book is for you. It is an insightful case study of one doctor's unforgettable journey and metamorphosis through the process of becoming a surgeon.
