Synopsis: The book chronicles the four years of Collins' surgical residency at the Mayo Clinic during his training to become an orthopedic surgeon.

My Review: Well, this was my second time reading Hot Lights Cold Steel, however, this is only my first time reading the correct book with the title from my list of books to read. I really enjoyed this memoir. It was a great look into the life of resident at the Mayo Clinic. Life as a resident can be pretty rough, but at the same time, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
