Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death and Sleepless Nights in a Surgeons First Years

The "Orthopedic Residency" is a must-read for anyone considering a career in medicine, particularly in orthopedics.

This book provides an honest and humorous account of the challenges faced by a resident at one of the most respected medical centers in the world.

With unparalleled humor, Collins recounts his journey from an eager but clueless first-year resident to accomplished Chief Resident in his final year.

The book offers a unique perspective on the disparity between people's perceptions of a doctor's glamorous life and the real thing, including run down cars, long weekends moonlighting at rural hospitals, a growing family, and a laughable income.

Collins' scalpel is as sharp as his pen, and his patients are in capable hands.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to gain insight into the life of an orthopedic surgeon and the challenges they face on a daily basis.
