The world of medical education is a mystery to most outsiders, as the medical student is thrown into an insanity of hard work and hell-fire. This book is an audacious exposé into a doctor’s odyssey, a mad roller-coaster ride where harrowing events and absurd humor often travel hand-in-hand. The essence of medical education is more sharply brought to light by one who survived this journey and its many forms of adversity—soul-crushing humiliation, financial hardship, frightening racism and caring for patients in dire circumstances—but heavily blended with life-changing and mind-blowing experiences that make it all worthwhile. At its heart, this whimsical book inspires others to chase any dream, by showing how a shy and weak 12-year-old boy--from humble beginnings, with neither in-born talent nor privileged upbringing--realized his dream and became a doctor.

“Bedlam to Bedside offers readers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the realities of medical education and clinical practice.…the book captures an experience shared by many physicians but rarely articulated with this level of clarity and emotional honesty.
-Brian Lawenda, MD, radiation oncologist, author of Empowered Against Cancer and The Mitochondrial Method.

“What a refreshing take on the trials and tribulations of one of those grueling careers…Laughter is the best medicine and his mixture of truth, storytelling and humor hit the mark...”
-Lynette Charity, MD, retired anesthesiologist and touring stand-up comedian, author of Escape Plan: Dreaming My Way out of The Projects
