From the bustling streets of post-British Raj in Lucknow, India, where his passion for healing ignited, to the hallowed halls of MIT and Harvard in Boston, where his academic prowess soared, Surendra Varma's path was one of unyielding determination and unwavering ambition. Arriving in Boston with only two dollars and fifty cents in his pocket, he epitomized the immigrant spirit-resilient, hungry for knowledge, and driven by a passion for healing.
But his pivotal move to the dusty plains of Lubbock, Texas, during the tumultuous 1970s tested his mettle. Confronted by discrimination and the sometimes-ugly politics of medicine, Surendra blazed a trail of change, fearlessly advocating for the most vulnerable-the infants born in the state-by crafting a groundbreaking bill. His tireless efforts led him to testify before the Texas Congress, ultimately championing legislation that transformed the landscape of neonatal care and forever altering the destiny of countless lives.
Surendra's evolution from a na?ve young physician to an esteemed professor and a revered global advocate underscores his dedication to innovation and inclusivity. His journey has shaped medical curricula and transcended borders, leaving an indelible mark on healthcare systems worldwide.
My Romance with Medicine is an inspiring testament to the strength of the immigrant experience, offering invaluable insights into the intricacies of medicine and the power of advocacy. A compelling narrative that underscores the transformative impact of perseverance, compassion, and steadfast determination in the realm of healthcare, this memoir is a must-read for every medical enthusiast, aspiring professional, and anyone captivated by the relentless pursuit of healing and equity.
