Doctor autobiography

Synopsis

From a modest beginning in Hubli, Noshir H. Antia became a pioneer of plastic surgery in modern India and established one of the earliest burns units in the country at the J.J. Hospital in Bombay. Soon, he realized that health could not be the domain of medical science alone, but needed to be framed by the social, cultural and economic perspectives of the common people. He and his team began training women volunteers in Mandwa and Malshiras an experiment that became the blueprint for the Community Health Workers Scheme. Combining scientific temper with social vision, he set up the two complimentary organizations, the Foundation for Research in Community Health (FRCH) and the Foundation for Medical Research (FMR). In this candid and critical account, Antia is unsparing of the medical profession and laments the emergence of the health industry at the cost of health for all .

The Medicine Memoirs That Every Aspiring Doctor Should Read

My cousin Rob Meyer and I have known each other all our lives. A shared history and love of baseball are what have kept us close. While studying to become an emergency room doctor, Rob was mentored by my late father, while I went on a different path, becoming a writer. Writing was something I never knew my father aspired to until, after he died, I found notebooks full of poetry hidden amidst his medical textbooks and financial records.

I’ve written about a man who ran around the world, partially duplicating his feat by running halfway across Australia myself. I wrote about a friend who vanished, leaving a wife and child behind, only to resurface with an entirely new identity as a legendary hiker on the Appalachian Trail. My obsessions often occupy the strange corners, not center stage.
