Description
This book is about family and academic medicine. It’s a memoir of sorts with story-telling and reflection, as well as a slice of life advice. The stories are true and accurate, with patients’ particulars omitted of course. I talk about both positive and negative experiences and how they contributed to my growth and learning as a person while winding my way through the medical system. Some chapters are concise, others more detailed.
I encourage medical and non-medical people to read this book. It’s my hope it will shed light into our profession, and what we actually encounter on a daily basis. I should clearly state how fortunate I am to be in medicine, at the same time acknowledging how challenging the daily grind can be.
The title is a metaphor to describe what it feels like sometimes to walk a day in the shoes of a family and academic physician. I hope not to be overly cynical but rather honest, not jaded but genuinely reflective, not a pessimist but a realistic optimistic.
