Bull in the Ring

By Richard B. Williams MD

Bull in the Ring is the true story of a painfully average young man trying to take a place among some of the most talented women and men in our society- neurosurgeons. This memoir traces his steps from the football field to the operating room, beginning with a small boy witnessing his neurosurgeon father deal with two badly injured men in an emergency room. The story continues as he tries to prove he can compete as an athlete and then as a surgeon through high school, college, medical school, and finally long years of residency training. He deals daily with blood, death, heartbreak, and misery, wondering the entire time if he had been delusional in pursuing such dreams. Finally, it's the story of how a brilliant, tenacious specialty wages a daily struggle against death, but wins only when skill and compassion are combined.
