PROJECT NAME: EDITORIAL BOOK REVIEW

BOOK TITLE: SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE: THE ART OF BALANCING


MEDICAL CAREER, TEENAGERS, AND RELATIONSHIPS WITHOUT PROZAC

AUTHOR: ANNA SYLWESTROWICZ MD FRCP(C)

For more than 20 years, Anna Sylwestrowicz has worked as an


anesthesiologist. She is the lone kid in her family. Her father is also a doctor,
while her mother works as a chemical engineer. She said as a child that she
enjoyed doing everything and having everything. She used to be idealistic
when she was younger. She explained that she chose medicine since most of
her colleagues did, and that her father had a big effect on her decision to
become an anesthesiologist.

Being in the medical field, or any other field for that matter, is not easy,
especially if you want to make a career out of it. That's why, when she married
and became pregnant, she struggled to cope with the pregnancy and the
pressure to return to work. The judgments made by women in the medical
industry were scrutinized.

Her marital life was also a failure. Even though they tried their hardest to keep
it together, certain things must be sacrificed for the good of everyone,
including their marriage. She divorced her husband and became a single
mother. Being a career woman and a mother has never been simple but being
a single mother working at a hospital is undoubtedly more difficult.

This gripping story sheds light on the challenges women faced. Especially in a
world where stereotypes and patriarchal attitudes toward career moms still
exist. It was never easy for her to be a perfect mother and a decent doctor,
and it took its toll on her. She offered interviews and tales of women from a
variety of fields, not just medical. Anna claimed that she doesn’t have all the
answers on how to balance life and career, maybe there was really no answer
to that.

This book will help you know and comprehend why women act and think the
way they do. It's both inspirational and heart-warming. If a woman reads this
book, she will undoubtedly feel that connection because everything described
here is something that women have also gone through. If a male reads this,
he will gain insight into the challenges that women face, which he will never
know.
It was written in a way that may be described as raw. While reading this book,
you will find yourself agreeing with her. It's as if she's speaking directly to you,
imparting what she's learnt over the years. There are several reminders that
might assist you once you have confronted the challenges of being a woman.
Decisions you make now will have a significant influence on how your life will
turn out in the future, so make wise choices. And remember that a woman will
never be defined by the roles society has set for them.
