About this audiobook
A courageous memoir that spans 40 years of Dinaaz's life experiences within our health care system. The story is raw, thought provoking and a brilliant look at complications and uncertainties when a medical challenge being faced is rare and uncertain. An extremely powerful example of how self-belief and trusting your own gut instinct can allow you to overcome any of life's challenges.
"A must (listen) for every doctor and medical student." - Dr Stephen Thornley.
"Battle Scars is very valuable to inspire people to not lose hope, and also for physicians to keep updating and deepening their study in medicine and their respective specialties." - Dr (Professor) Jenaro Fernández-Valencia, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Barcelona, Spain
"Battle Scars beautifully illustrates the human impact of our profession upon those whom we serve. Reflecting on Dinaaz's experience provides a strong reminder about what it is like to be a patient on the receiving side of complications, disappointment and uncertainty. Despite significant adversity, her perseverance, resilience and compassion represent an inspirational story of personal character and strength." - Dr Patrick Weinrauch (Orthopedic Surgeon)
"What a tragedy it would have been if Dinaaz had given up. I'm very glad I read this book." - Dr Andrew Cook
"An exploration of issues that doctors may wish to explore before they become patients themselves." - Zehra Bharucha
