About this listen

Dr. Liz O'Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practice at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz's incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she molded and reshaped women's breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer.

But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man's world. In addition to this high-powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.

Would Have Given 5 Stars but...

It is always my preference to hear the author narrate the story.
In this book, having known of Dr Liz O'Riordan via social media, it was a disappointment not to hear her read. I felt the narrator made the quite gripping story of Liz's life to date very ordinary.
I admire Liz for sharing with such honesty & truth telling about being a cancer surgeon & being a cancer patient . I do wish you well Liz knowing you now have another diagnosis of cancer.
