Somewhere in Between

By Sean C Pirkle

Book Overview

Hidden worlds often exist in plain sight: the galaxies above, the buried bodies beneath the Easter Island heads ... and medical school.

Somewhere in Between holds a magnifying glass over medical training's idiosyncrasies, from the cadaver lab and board exams to inadvertently broken sterile fields on clerkship rotations. But this is more than just a story about becoming a doctor. Dr. Sean Pirkle reflects on life through the lens of medicine-navigating the uncertainty of receiving an incurable diagnosis while studying it in class, discovering love on the wards, and standing on the front lines during a global pandemic. He grapples with the strange reality of a computer algorithm determining his future and confronts the ethical complexities that arise when theory meets practice.

Through honest reflection and quiet humor, Dr. Pirkle invites readers to witness the triumphs and missteps that shaped him, offering an unfiltered glimpse into the human side of medicine.
