It looked for a while as if Michael Collins would spend his life
breaking concrete and throwing rocks for the Vittorio Scalese
Construction Company. He liked the work and he liked the pay. But a
chance remark by one of his coworkers made him realize that he
wanted to involve himself in something bigger, something more
meaningful than crushing rocks and drinking beer.
In his acclaimed first memoir, "Hot Lights, Cold Steel"," "
Collins wrote passionately about his four-year surgical residency
at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. "Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs "turns
back the clock, taking readers from his days as a construction
worker to his entry into medical school, expertly infusing his
journey to become a doctor with humanity, compassion, and humor.
From the first time he delivers a baby to being surrounded by death
and pain on a daily basis, Collins compellingly writes about how
medicine makes him confront, in a very deep and personal way, the
nature of God and suffering--and how delicate life can be.
