Dr Usha Mohan

The Reluctant MD Dr Usha Mohan

Becoming a doctor was never her dream, but a doctor she did become. Welcome to the world of an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist whose journey as a doctor took her to places as varied as Africa, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea and Brunei, through experiences not many doctors would have or even want to have, ending her successful career as an active practitioner with the latest trend in the field of medicine, e-consulting. The Reluctant MD: A Gynaecologist's Journey provides an insight into the tension-packed life of a doctor who has to think on her toes to bring smiles on her patients' faces. Behind every baby delivered, every case solved is the story of her struggle to get everything right, a story a patient never gets to hear. And, of course, the amazing highs of impacting someone's life directly, and the deep lows when patients do poorly. In short, every day is a new day with unanticipated challenges for her. The account leads us through the various incidents she encountered to become the successful doctor she eventually became. At once hilarious, horrifying and heart-breaking, this medical memoir leaves you wondering about many things - the quest for happiness, the pursuit of dreams, the meaning of success, but above all, the need to do one's best, regardless.
