Dear friends, family, and colleagues: I would like to express my deep gratitude for your support in reading and providing such positive feedback on Roots & Branches—A Family Saga Like No Other and Mastering the Knife—Seeking Identity & Finding Belonging, (Volumes I and II in A Surgeon's Tale). I am pleased to mention that Roots & Branches was awarded honorable mention in the autobiography category in the three prestigious Book Festivals: New York, Hollywood and Paris. And after much delay during the summer of 2021, the anticipated Surgeon & Lover—Fulfillment & Folly, Volume III of the series, is now available on Amazon. The book has been described by readers as a “page turner,” finding that the account of the events in my life that took place 50 years ago, are described with raw honesty, frankness, and delicacy. The subject matter resonates today in recent State Texas laws and in the United States Supreme Court.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Michael began the process of writing Surgeon & Lover—Fulfillment & Folly through examining notes and memories jotted down in his journals, his published medical papers, hundreds of family letters translated from German, Arabic, and memories evoked from his extensive photo collections dating as far back as the mid-1930s.

Surgeon & Lover continues where Mastering the Knife ends-- in a situation where Dr. Meguid's life was consumed with a passion to make the world a better place, as he felt had become a better man.

Surgeon & Lover— Fulfillment & Folly is ultimately a tale of perseverance and dedication to overcome the complex PTSD syndrome that haunted his life. In addition to being in paperback and ebook formats, Surgeon & Lover is also now available on Audible, narrated by David Sweeney-Bear's empathetic voice and storytelling style.
