Hot Lights, Cold Steel book cover

Hot Lights, Cold Steel

Michael J. Collins

Follow Michael Collins through his four-year surgical residency where he rises from an eager but clueless first-year resident to an accomplished Chief Resident. With unparalleled humor, Collins recounts the disparity between people's glamorous perceptions of a doctor's life and the real-life struggles of a resident, including long weekends at rural hospitals and laughable income. Every day, he is confronted with decisions that will change people's lives, challenging his idealism and aspiration to heal. Unflinching and deeply engaging, Hot Lights, Cold Steel is a gripping memoir that is both devastating and triumphant.
