What is Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs : the Making of a Surgeon about?

<p><P>It looked for a while like Michael Collins would spend his life breaking concrete and throwing rocks for the Vittorio Scalese Construction Company. He liked the work and he liked the pay. But a chance remark by one of his coworkers made him realize that he wanted to involve himself in something bigger, something more meaningful than crushing rocks and drinking beer. <P>In his acclaimed first memoir, <i>Hot Lights, Cold Steel</i>, Collins wrote passionately about his four-year surgical residency at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. <i>Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs </i>turns back the clock, taking readers from his days as a construction worker to his entry into medical school, expertly infusing his journey to become a doctor with humanity, compassion and humor. From the first time he delivers a baby to being surrounded by death and pain on a daily basis, Collins compellingly writes about how medicine makes him confront, in a very deep and personal way, the nature of God and suffering&#8212;and how delicate life can be.</p> <h3>Publishers Weekly</h3> <p><P>An orthopedic surgeon whose Mayo Clinic residency he recalled in <I>Hot Lights, Cold Steel,</I>Collins reaches further back to tell of
