About this listen

Mastering the Knife, Volume II, of A Surgeon’s Tale, is the coming-of-age story of an Egyptian/German medical student in the hospitals of London in the 1960s. Hounded by failure, self-doubt, and cultural identity, he searches for his social and professional place in the world. The story masterfully goes beyond the biographical to encompass the people, language, and the rituals of surgical training. The author lifts the veil on the technical and moral concerns that contribute to the making of a successful surgeon.

Michael Meguid has written a fantastic companion to his first book, “roots and branches“. The second book addresses his struggles with identity while going through medical school in a culture foreign to his origin. The story is masterfully written and immediately relatable. David Sweeney-Bear’s narration is enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this to anyone in medicine or who has faced identity challenges.

Outstanding story about a man’s struggles with life and medical school
