** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book.**
** Thanks to our reviewer Bidisha Sengupta for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. **
‘And So Can You’ by Dr. Roopleen starts with a positive note and the red cover gives the readers a feeling of brightness and power. As one proceeds through the book we get to know how deserving the title is. It takes us through 17 stories of 17 doctors and their journeys of life. The book heralds the message not only to aspiring young medical students but to all people who are fighting their own battles whether it's personal or professional.
The author narrated us the stories of these 17 doctors,their struggle, hardship, success, failure, achievements,frustration and moments of elation. The author Dr Roopleen is herself a doctor and being born in a family of doctors felt the strong urge to let people know what a "doctor" goes through before he gets the degree ,how he fights with the forces of life to save another one,his or her happiness when a patient survives and lows when they fail being successful and suffers abuses sometimes.
The story of different doctors belonging to different states of India and comes with their unique stories. Few examples:
i) Dr Virender Sarwal - A cardio thoracic and vascular surgeon , how he worked as a junior doctor to learn more on surgery.His undeterred ambition even in a financial crunch kept him strong to achieve all what he wanted.
ii) Dr Ashok Khurana who had a humble beginnings from a small town in Haryana. His paternal grandmother and mother sowed in him the seeds to serve people and is now a senior professor and Head of the Department of Ophthalmology, Rohtak. His take on life is still to stay humble,accept the gratitude which his patients and students has to offer as " the feeling of being respected as a good human being" appeals to more than material success.
Several such inspiring stories of doctors tell us that to achieve in life one must not:-
i) Give up easily.
ii) There is no substitute to hard work.
iii) When you feel low,look within for support as self confidence takes you a long way.
iv) Nurturing one's value and ability to stick on during hard times and contribute to society by doing quality work.
v) Be passionate about your own work and keep on trying as nothing is beyond reach.
The major lessons of life are described in this book in a simple, story telling patterns and we feel encouraged while we read the book that if these successful persons had to try hard and battle adversaries we too can try our luck and reach out for the stars.
An extremely encouraging book by Dr Roopleen to inspire us and make us strong.
Overall, Literoma rates Dr. Roopleen's 'And So Can You' as 5*/5* and highly recommends it.
