James Banks, a medical student in Brighton, a rural town in Kentucky's Appalachia, a region plagued by poverty and an opioid epidemic, has a single-minded goal: to match with a reputable psychiatry residency and graduate. However, his hopes are dashed when he receives a rejection from a residency he had applied to, and he begins to fear that he may have failed a medical licensing exam. Failure is not an option for James, who is burdened with $230,000 in student loans. Determined to succeed, he embarks on a rigorous clinical rotation program that spans various specialties, including family medicine, osteopathic medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, emergency medicine, cardiology, neurology, and neurosurgery. Through his experiences, he encounters a diverse range of patients and doctors, each with their unique challenges and personalities. From a patient with blue skin to a hostile ob-gyn, James learns the intricacies of being a physician and the profound impact that he can have on the lives of others. Adventures of an American Medical Student is a captivating and gritty novel that delves into the depths of human suffering with a profound sense of heart, soul, and humor. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of James and his fellow medical students as they navigate the treacherous path to becoming physicians.
