Under a Different Constellation: An Extraordinary Journey Through Medical School (The Ones You Kill Book 1)
Description
Being stabbed in the back at Australia’s most prestigious medical school is hard to take, but is especially galling when it is done by the Associate Professor of Ethical Practice.
As a student at the University of Sydney Medical School from 2004-2009, I was frustrated by the inadequate teaching of medical science, which had been pushed aside by the latest fad medical subjects, such as Patient Centred Medicine.
I let the staff know how I felt in third year essays that led to the Associate Professor of Ethical Practice working behind the scenes in an attempt to have me repeat the year. Then in fourth year, I suffered a disastrous mental breakdown after being referred to the Medical Board even though I had done nothing wrong.
This book is not just the extraordinary true story of my experiences at Medical School, it is also the first full exposé of what actually goes on in this closed world. It tells the story of my battles with Medical School staff, interspersed with accounts of the grossly inadequate teaching of the new Medical Program, as well as many unusual, amusing, and unsavoury anecdotes about Medicine, and my personal life.
