Book Description
My memoir written on the year 2014, the 50th year I have been in the United states of America. As a newly graduate physician from the University of Santo Tomas, in Manila,
I planned to do a post graduate training in the United states, for four years and to return home to Makati City where I planned to practice as a specialist in Internal Medicine.
The journey was intended to be for few years but there were many more series of journeys that were like hurdles and all in all archived the many moves that added to the
struggles that resulted to the achievements of a physician towards a specialty. Inter personal encounters as a physician in the medical surroundings and outside the hospital
walls were both educational experiences. Living six years in Canada and returning to the US, then becoming American citizen made a final stake, I am here.
