Dr. Cheema tells the story of a doctor living and dying with his patients, struggling against the urge to question everything, especially why. He travels the world as a military surgeon, all the while trying to raise a family in whatever foreign lands they find themselves.
There are two parts of the book, each with a foreword by an eminent Harvard Professor. In the first part Dr. Cheema describes his experiences and in the second what he learnt from his life.
