Scrubbing In - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Mel Thacker, MD spent fifteen years training to become a surgeon and built the career she had dreamed of since childhood. Then, at the height of that career, she had a panic attack in the operating room.

Scrubbing In traces the path that led her there and the journey that followed. Through stories of poverty, medical training, the Boston Marathon bombing, surgical culture, burnout, family dysfunction, and the often-unspoken costs of achievement, she examines what happens when success and suffering arrive together.

Part memoir and part reckoning, Scrubbing In is an exploration of identity, belonging, and the question that waits beneath every accomplishment: Who are you when the role you've built your life around is no longer enough?
