Book Review: Hot Lights Cold Steel... an inspiring Read.

Hey Everyone
Its Anu !

 With a mindset and a tight pony tail, I  decided I was all set to continue my work, which was , to study. To study the same thing I was going over since last 3 years in expectation it would be over one day, which was   after a 3 hr exam.
Due to the current scenario  and the pandemic conditions, the exams are getting postponed and hence , the preparation of exam is still going on, at it's own pace. 
 To keep myself motivated  , I read  , something  related to my subjects.

 The book that left its mark on me was Hot Lights Cold Steel. It is truly a marvel It is about  the journey of becoming a surgeon . The doctor or the-surgeon-in-making Dr. Collins' experiences are well described. Well, I heard this book as an audiobook on YouTube  , so if you are interested in going through  the journey , you could find it easily. Hot Lights Cold Steel


Starting from knowing nothing about the field he was entering into ,to end up becoming the Chief Resident is really inspiring to know .The narration of the whole series of events is funny and light  over the course of  reading but there are segments where it gets serious with the question of life and death.Hot Lights Cold Steel
Various aspects in a doctor's life, like financial aspect or the personal life are described too. The experiences of Dr. Collins are worth  going thought.

Inspiring.
 There are so many experiences and situations to feel the adrenalin rush.
 The biggest learning I got from the book was, at times the result matters ,instead of the efforts you put in. What do u think about it . Hot Lights Cold Steel.inspiring 


 Do let me know if you have read any books regarding doctors and their lives.

Escaping, but from whom?

It's a quite place which I always claimed will make me most productive.  And now that I am here, I occasionally get lost in my thoughts, which is basically about all the issues I am surrounded with. While at home,  I was constantly in search of emptiness, a room where no one ones what am I doing, judge whether what I am doing would actully help me make my future better, to validate the feelings I express. I used to just sleep or try to study in a room locked from inside where most of the time was spent crying till I am too exhausted to do nothing more than needed, sorting what went wrong and hiding from everyone around. I have been there before and after attempts of moving on, the things are back again , right in front of me. Everytime it happens, it leave a hollowness inside which doesn't really fills up. It gets deeper, progressively. I have been shrinking out socially and hasn't been a serious bother since the ones I have to keep with me, are with me.  The previous tim...

That's the way I work!

 I exhaled the breath that was captured inside me, realizing that the person didn't intend to convey the news to me yet. I'll get my news.  I don't know how long that's going to take but my mind is beginning to take its troll. I just couldn't wait anymore!  Was the news even meant for me? I didn't know. All I knew was , being patient is the only option to patient.  I have been acting impulsively. Once I decide I want to finish off something, I'll do it anyway, without giving it a second thought. Once convinced, concider it's done. The whole efforts, are therefor, put into the Convincing process. It's freaking hard to convince me to do something. My friends often say, why do you think so much? Why are you so afraid of taking actions ? I don't think I am afraid or I take too much time deciding. It's just, i don't have an explanation for this. If my Gut feeling says I should do it, I'll do it or otherwise.  Following my own philosophies,...

  I can stare at the sky and think about literally everything that’s there, be it connecting the dots of my past happenings that got me to the stage I am. While thinking about it, I feel as if I am narrating my favorite experiences to my long-gone friend. I jump from one experience to another, losing the chain of the story and eventually getting back from where I started. I think about the most practical things I can see in my future and what I’ll need to do for it. At times, I land up making alternate possibilities of how things might have turned out if I had made choices a little different from what I actually did. Sometimes, when I don’t want to think about anything in particular, I get my earphones and enjoy the music and the peace in me with the quiet of the night. Without anything to listen, my head will always be filled with something or the other. So yeah, that works sometimes. I see aeroplanes occasionally. They lit me up. Memories. Dreams. Possibilities. In these da...
