The new book: [Great Joys Great Sorrows [https://www.amazon.com/Great-Joys-Sorrows-Immigrants-Residency/dp/0999298860/]] takes readers inside Harvard's surgical residency programs of the 1970s, a period marked by 110-hour workweeks, relentless discipline, and the high stakes of life-and-death decision-making. Through candid storytelling, Dr. Meguid explores both the triumphs and the hardships of becoming a surgeon while navigating the personal sacrifices and emotional toll of such an uncompromising profession. "Residency was a crucible," said Dr. Meguid. "It tested not only my skill and endurance but also my sense of humanity. I want readers to understand both the exhilaration of saving lives and the sorrow of inevitable loss.
