Hot lights, cold steel: life, death, and sleepless nights in a surgeon's first years

Trama

When Michael Collins decides to become a surgeon, he is totally unprepared for the chaotic life of a resident at a major hospital. But compared to his fellow residents Collins feels inadequate and unprepared. All too soon, the euphoria of beginning his career as an orthopedic resident gives way to the feeling he is a counterfeit, an imposter who has infiltrated a society of brilliant surgeons.
