Becoming a Doctor: A Journey of Initiation in Medical School

---

Authored by anthropologist and physician Melvin Konner, M.D., this compelling medical memoir documents his clinical training at Harvard Medical School. Offering a unique sociological and anthropological perspective, Konner critically examines medical education culture, the psychological rigor imposed on medical students, the erosion of empathy in favor of clinical detachment, and the complex human dynamics governing physician-patient relationships within modern hospital settings.
