K.J. Lee is a world-renowned otolaryngologist and head and neck
surgeon. Born in Malaya in 1940 during World War II, through his
indefatigable spirit, talent and hard work he was able to change
his life. Traveling to America in 1958 to study at Harvard on a
full-tuition scholarship, he went on to make an indelible
contribution to his chosen medical specialty. Among his many
achievements, his drive and determination to support the next
generation of ENT surgeons and to improve the healthcare experience
for patients stand out. These vocations led to his publications of
over 30 books and the seminal textbook, K.J. Lee's Essential
Otolaryngology. It is considered the most widely read text in the
field in the world, translated into several languages. This memoir
covers his work as a government adviser for healthcare reform, and
his founding the nonprofit foundation to encourage caregivers to
treat patients as if caregivers are the patients, aTPIU' (The
Patient Is U). In this memoir, he shares his inspiring tale. In his
usual spirit of encouraging and supporting the development of
junior colleagues, Dr. Lee has chosen to tell his story through
three Columbia University writers a Sally Jee, Clementine Li, and
Coco Ruan. Their own education and background have enabled them to
fully understand and appreciate his story and communicate it in the
words and style of K.J. himself, capturing his very essence and his
unmistakable voice. Leeway is a tale of hard work and perseverance,
reaching beyond expectations, positivity and forward-thinking, love
and family, and above all, success against the odds. A memoir of
surgeon K. J. Lee. Reaching Beyond Expectations, from the hideouts
of Penang to Harvard and beyond; determination, hard work,
ingenuity, emphasizing check lists that you look at frequently,
anticipating problems and avoiding them, making lemonade out of
lemons, being empathetic, learning from adversities and mistakes
and trusting God's guidance. God helps those who help themselves.
With God, all things are possible.
