Tales of Adventure and Medical Life, one of the collections Arthur Conan Doyle published at the end of his career, anthologizes some of his best short fiction outside of the Sherlock Holmes canon. As well as various tales of escapades in Egypt, London and the far-flung regions of northern Scotland, he included stories which deal with a subject that, as a physician himself, he had a unique perspective on: the medical profession. London surgeons and country doctors, male and female, are described as they deal with business and sentimental issues and encounter incredible situations – both comic and tragic. Conan Doyle displays his dazzling storytelling talents while providing a fascinating glimpse into his profession and times.

Medical school is an incredible adventure that, for many, is shrouded in mystery. South African medical student, Ashiq Pramchand, writes about his profound experiences in academia and in the hospital wards to elucidate the lives of future doctors and healthcare professionals.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Medical students have beautiful stories about life and death that should be shared to inspire and teach others about the great strengths and vulnerabilities of young healers. Ashiq Pramchand explores the great odyssey of the medical student and offers a glimpse into what medical school is really about.
