Do No Harm

by Daniel Ochalek

Medical students are often pushed to the brink, working long hours under intense pressure and ridicule for years. In their quest to heal others, doctors' families and friends sometimes become collateral damage as relationships are destroyed. In Do No Harm we see a fictionalized account of one surgeon whose traumatic childhood inspires him to become a doctor instead of following his heart, which is playing jazz. Michael, the doctor, is pushed to the brink emotionally and physically when trying to survive medical internships, and once again when practicing medicine as a burn surgeon. It's a sobering tale of mental illness that takes readers on a deep dive into the hardened, sometimes unforgiving culture of medical training, and then the business side of medical services.
