ENCOUNTERS is a collection of extraordinary stories as experienced by a medical doctor working in multiple Southern African countries. He narrates striking incidents with patients, including events that are stranger than fiction.
To set the stage, the author takes readers through a series of boyhood accounts in which he struggles to find his feet at an affluent primary school before navigating a high school with unusual liberties.
Medical school presents cut-throat expectations and freedom in equal measure, while life as a young doctor presents a cocktail of challenges. Honest appraisals of the intersections of modern medicine with societal norms, traditional medicine and religion are offered throughout the book. HIV, injustice, tribalism and racism loom large.
