Playing Doctor; Part Two: Residency.
Blundering Along with Imposter Syndrome
Ready to learn how to be a doctor?
Well, neither was John.
John’s adventures in medical training continue with this insightful, often hilarious, self-deprecating medical memoir of bumbling into residency with a severe case of imposter syndrome. This second part in the series brings John’s unique, irreverent and candid med-school storytelling to the world of residency training.
Initially, John penned email blasts while being held captive on-call nights. His descriptions of the escapades, mishaps, disorder, and terror that surrounded his training, led several friends to enquire if he has broken into the hospital pharmacy. Eventually, someone asked to publish the stories, so John replied that he’d write down the whole adventure of becoming a doctor from medical school through residency.
“The rare admission into the brilliant and honest mind of a guy, who is scared to death because he doesn’t have all the answers, but has to project complete control because he’s the one who is supposed to have all the answers. Go on this hilarious ride with John as he compassionately attempts to serve his patients and maintain his sanity.”
