The Monsoon Diaries is the firsthand account of Dr. Calvin Sun, an emergency room doctor who worked tirelessly on the front lines in multiple hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Drawing upon the lessons he learned from his adventures traveling to more than 190 countries in ten years, as well as from the grief he experienced as a teen when his father died, Dr. Sun shares his journey, from growing up as a young Asian American in New York to his calling first to medical school and then to the open road.
He believes that the fight for a better world creates meaning when all feels meaningless, and he hopes that telling his story will help readers reframe this tragic moment in our lifetimes into possibility, with the goal of building a more empathetic society.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful audiobook.
It was cathartic to listen to this beautifully written first-hand account about being in the front lines of the pandemic as it raged in New York City. Being in the healthcare field myself, I felt myself reliving the experience of the pandemic, but in a good therapeutic way with Dr. Sun’s insightful words.
The gripping narrative was seamlessly interwoven with a poetic tale of loss, healing, and self-discovery.
