In the ER, the OR, and in the waiting room where the doctors deliver heart stopping news to the families of their patients, a neurosurgeon's apprenticeship is arduous. This memoir of the day-to-day experiences of a resident in neurosurgery at one of the US's busiest trauma centres provides a rare window into the training of the doctors who open patients' skulls and operate on their brains and spinal cords.
