Although it is more than 40 years since I graduated, reading A surgeon’s reflections on mortality revived memories of my own undergraduate and postgraduate years. Replete with detailed recollections of the author’s initiation into medicine and specialist practice, this is more than a trip down memory lane. At its heart resides a concern that many will, as was the case with the author, find challenging and unsettling.
