In Stitches by Dr. Anthony Youn ~ a review

Somehow during my surgery rotation I managed to read a book. So it goes without saying that it was a fun read.

The book is written by a Korean-American, Chicago-based plastic surgeon about his journey in medical school and the uncertainties and pressures he faced throughout the process. While his experience was drastically different than mine, it was fascinating to read about the role that pressure from his family played in shaping his medical career... and really his entire life. This is an issue I've been lucky to escape yet I know many many pre-meds and med students out there deal with these outside factors every day.

Regardless... the book is a riot. They guy spends just as much time trying to get ladies as he does studying... and somehow manages to make the entire process of becoming a physician storyteller worthy.
