Berndl guides readers through the highs and lows of becoming a physician in Canada in a clear outline of the challenges and realities of medicine.

This article is written because of my experience during the last eighteen years since 1998 for the benefit of newcomers into the field of medical practice. Maybe you will have an entirely different experience, but knowledge of the potential pitfalls should be an advantage. I will make my rendition as factual as possible based on my experience and provide my point of view for balance or comment. My aim is to assist others in their choice before becoming completely, and irreversibly, involved as the road to success is long and hard. That is not to say that it is not rewarding on the principle of what is put in is closely related to what comes out. During my lifetime, I have had a wealth of pleasant experiences in dealing with my patients and staff, as well as the staff of hospitals at which I have worked. It is only during the last eighteen years that the intrusion of the medical boards and government authorities into my practice have had destructive and devastating effects such that I have not been permitted to practice for a lot of that time.

"This book has been written especially for those who have yet to find the person who will turn their lives around completely, work miracles in their lives, and give them a reason for living, whether it is the teenager who feels lost, unloved and unwanted. Perhaps turned to drugs. Or, the adult who has lost his or her way. There IS an answer! It is my hope that you will not only find that answer but will pass this book on so that others may find and enjoy that answer, too. I found the answer a long, long time ago. I've never been sorry I did!"
