Do No Harm

"...this book is a must-read for anyone whose life has been touched by mental illness." -Alfredo Botello, award-winning author of 180 Days "A harrowing, no-holds-barred exploration of modern medicine and what it does to one man's mind." -Liam Callanan, award-winning author of When in Rome, Paris by the Book, The Cloud Atlas, All Saints, Listen & Other Stories Medical students and physicians in training are often pushed to the brink, working long hours under intense pressure and scrutiny for years. In their quest to heal others, doctors' families and friends sometimes become collateral damage as relationships are destroyed. In Do No Harm we see a fictionalized account of one surgeon whose traumatic childhood inspires him to become a doctor instead of following his heart, which is playing jazz. Michael, the doctor, is pushed to the brink emotionally and physically when trying to survive surgical internships, and once again when practicing as a burn surgeon. It's a sobering tale of mental illness that takes readers on a deep dive into the hardened, sometimes unforgiving culture of medical training, the dysfunctional business side that follows, and the toll it all takes on the individual.
