My Journey from a Rural Surgeon to an Author

Abstract

I am writing something of my own journey from being an ordinary rural surgeon to becoming the author of this book. I thought this is appropriate here because many of the readers would have been at a similar, if not the same, situation as I was in 1993. But with efforts, each and every one of them is capable of becoming an author. I hope this account will stimulate them to undertake some research or study and write articles for the journals on their own. For medical teachers, this will help to guide their postgraduate students.
