Book Review - Cuts and Bruises: Soul stirring stories from surgery school by Dr. Shivam Pandya

This book is a collection of Dr. Pandya's experiences with various kinds of patients and the difficulties government doctors often face in order to treat a patient.


In this book, there are emotional roller roaster real incidences short stories. but there is a happy ending also.

Some of my favorites dialogues from these stories are below.

"Paisa to kabhi bhi aa jayega saahab, ladki nahi aayegi wapis"

"Sir, you are discharging that patients against his will."

"Justice, Justice and Justice, I want it".

"Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and don't mess with the pancreas. 

Provoked Pancreas = Poking tiger with a stick"

I want to ask Dr. Pandya what had happened after he found out his wife is three months pregnant?

There is also an interesting story about the cover page in this book.

What happens when a penniless cook lands up at your doorstep with an infection in his leg?

How would you feel if your actions led to someone from your profession being jailed?

Do you remember the best birthday party you ever had? what's the best birthday gift for a surgeon?

What is the relationship between maggots and delicious mangoes? 

To what lengths will you go to save a patient when everyone, including the patient, has given up all the hope?

To get an answer to these questions, and many more you had never thought would arise in your mind, peel into the world of a surgery resident. Eleven tales, eleven patients, and a whole range of emotions.

I read this book in one sitting, it's definitely a gripping book. But you can read one story every day, enjoy the emotions of a story every day.
