Truth be told, it’s been a hot minute since I last read a hardcover book. All of the books I’ve read within the past few years were strictly for academic purposes, and thus weren’t exactly the most interesting.
But of the various books I’ve read over my life, I think that the most memorable one was probably Intern: A Doctor’s Initiation.
Many years ago, when I was a starry-eyed, overachieving high school student, there was a time I wanted to become a doctor. My dad gave me the book as a bit of a present to give me an idea of how my life could possibly look like if I made it through medical school, and found myself in that field.
It was a really heartfelt read; hearing how the newly graduated Dr. Jauhar adjusted to his sudden shift in career, balanced a hectic and frankly, insane work schedule and new marriage, and the generally toxic and stressful environment he had to work in to eke out a living.
While I knew that working as a physician wasn’t exactly a job full of rainbows and sunshine, reading that relatively short book gave me a newfound sense of respect and appreciation for all of the other doctors out there.
It also may have been one of the many things that made me reconsider pursuing a career in medicine.
