Full of heart and humor, a memoir about becoming a doctor that's unlike anything you've ever read before.
All Tony Youn ever wanted was to fit in. One of two Asian‑American kids in a small midwestern town, he was tall and thin with Coke‑bottle glasses, Hannibal Lecter headgear, a bowl cut, and a protruding jaw that grew even faster than his comic‑book collection. He finally got his chance senior year as he lay strapped in an oral surgeon's chair having his jaw broken and reset--a brutal makeover that led him to his calling.
Egged on by his overachieving Korean father ("Doctor never get fired."), Tony spent the next four years mired in the angst, flubs, triumphs, nonstop studying, intermittent heavy drinking, and sexual frustration of medical school. He entered a shy, skinny nerd with no nerve, no game, and no clue. He left a doctor.
Heartwarming and laugh‑out‑loud funny, In Stitches is a universal coming‑of‑age story about a kid who found the best in himself by bringing out the best in others and finally learned to be comfortable in his own skin.

Detroit Free Press: "Readable, funny, disarming, and heartfelt"
Huffington Post: "In Stitches is a sometimes funny, sometimes painful, sometimes heartwarming recount of Dr. Youn's experiences on the road to becoming a doctor... a Scrubs meets David Sedaris story-line..."
Lansing State Journal: "In Stitches is a fast-paced, mesmerizing autobiography that's laced with dark humor and memorable scenes, including his discovery that a woman he's dating works as a carnival fire-eater."
USA Today: "Laugh-out--loud"
Book Reporter: "Rarely has the chaotic, exhausting, Kafkaesque world of the med student been so faithfully, and hilariously, portrayed."
"Surprisingly warm and unquestionably witty. I adored In Stitches." --New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster
"Tony Youn's book is wonderful! Written from the heart, in a style that makes you want to read more, it is a touching, sensitive account of his journey. It should be read by everyone who's ever wanted to be a doctor, as well as anyone who's ever wanted to know what his doctor was thinking. A great read!" -- Robert Marion, M.D., author of "Intern Blues"
"In 1980, I read "The House of God," the sardonic story of residency training at Harvard's Beth Israel Hospital. Now, some 30 years later, ""readers are brought into the dorm room, the anatomy lab, the classroom, and the operating room with Dr. Youn as he describes his medical school training. The reader sweats the stresses and enjoys the laughs med students experience. I was touched by the honesty and frankness of the experiences he describes--most people understand the life of a doctor, but few understand the sacrifices that young men and women make while in medical school. Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a fun ride. This memoir will certainly keep you "In Stitches." --"Arthur W. Perry, MD, FACS, author of "The Real Life of a Surgeon"

""In Stitches" is well written, very readable and appropriately witty. I had the pleasure and opportunity of meeting and working with Dr Youn. I find him not only to be extremely capable and a great surgeon, but also a kind and generous man. In this book, I actually see a lot of myself in him. At times I was in tears and at others was laughing out loud. I highly recommend it!"-- Dr. Robert Rey of "Dr. 90210"
"Tony Youn traces his success to a stern Korean father and his own fanatical work ethic -- but the real secret is his fabulous sense of humor. If you're contemplating medical school, you'll need three things: resilience, caffeine, and "In Stitches "-- a raucously funny and genuinely affecting account of what becoming a doctor is really like." --Audrey Young, M.D., author of "What Patients Taught Me: A Medical Student's Journey."
"Part 'Grey's Anatomy, ' part 'Nip-Tuck, ' "In Stitches" takes you under the knife to expose the layers of one doctor's journey to become not only a plastic surgeon but also his own man. A humorous, heartfelt, honest memoir about med school and MCATs, fathers and sons, and finding your place in the world, "In Stitches" will tickle your funny bone, touch your heart and make you think differently about your doctor." --critically-acclaimed author Wade Rouse
""In Stitches" is a brilliant and bouncy read. Humorous and energetic, the author takes us along with him in medical school on his way to becoming a surgeon.

"Surprisingly warm and unquestionably witty, "In Stitches" is a riveting look at the sacrifice it takes to become a premiere plastic surgeon. In a world where physicians can be almost god-like, Dr. Tony's not afraid to show us his heart, his humor, and his humanity. I adored "In Stitches" and even though I'm not ready to book Dr. Tony for a face-lift, I'd sure like to call him for lunch." --"New York Times "bestselling author Jen Lancaster
"Dr. Youn is a frequent guest on my show, and I can say without a doubt that he's a cut above the rest."--Rachael Ray

I loved In Stitches!
By Elizabeth V. Flagg
I bought this book after reading one of Dr. Youn's articles on cnn.com. I always enjoy reading autobiographies and memoirs, and this is one of my favorites by far. Some parts were so funny that I laughed out loud and couldn't stop thinking about them the next day. There were also moments that were extremely touching and a bit sad. The narrative is witty, descriptive and moves along at a good pace.
Dr. Youn covers a lot of ground in this book, but in the end you really have a good sense of what a funny, genuine, caring person he is, and the ups and downs he experienced on the road to becoming a renowned plastic surgeon. I really had a hard time putting it down and am definitely planning on giving it a second read through.
If you are looking for a great summer read, do not hesitate to pick up this book. You will not be disappointed!

Tony Youn keeps us in stitches with his memoir
By Patricia
It's a bit off-putting when someone as young as my son feels compelled to write a memoir. So this book had a strike against it before I turned to the first page. "Double D's", he writes, "Pam Anderson, eat your heart out. Too bad they're attached to a fourteen-year-old boy." From that point on, I was smitten by Dr. Youn's story-telling and couldn't put the book down until I (too quickly) reached the last page.
Youn starts out by describing how it feels to grow up as only one of two Asian-Americans in a small Midwestern town. Not only did he have to deal with being "different" from everyone else, he also had "Coke-bottle glasses, Hannibal Lecter headgear, a bowl cut, and a protruding jaw that grew even faster than his comic-book collection."
The first part of the book is a coming of age story with Youn agonizing about fitting in, being cool, and most importantly, finally getting a girlfriend. While he is worrying over these typical teen goals, his father, a hard-working Korean immigrant ObGyn, has other plans for Tony. "Doctor is the only thing. Every other job is not good for you. You have to make Daddy proud." In fact from the time he is born, Daddy, wants Anthony to not only be a doctor, but..."A Surgeon. Vascular. Big money"...no wait, not vascular, "Transplant surgery. That's the big money...One surgery. Ten thousand dollah. For one hour. Early retirement. Mercedes-Benz. Condo in Florida..." And, of course, he should marry a nice Korean girl.
In the sixth grade, Tony's jaw starts growing (for reasons that are not clear). He envisions himself a "cartoon kid with a massive jutting Jay Leno jaw" - not so good for your self-esteem. He deals with it by becoming, in his words, Tony Youn, nerd! But all that changes when he is sent away to boarding school to "get a jump on my classes and begin studying for the SATS" (still two years away). Here for the first time he meets some very cool Korean-American kids. They take him under their wings and by the time he heads back to Greenville, Michigan, his home town, he is cool. He is also taller (six feet) and now has "a new haircut, a new wardrobe, new designer glasses, and new music." He makes it into the in-crowd. Right after graduation from high school he gets surgery to reduce the size of his jutting jaw. By college, he says, "my ugly stage [is] behind me."
His college years are all about studying and getting the grades to get into medical school...except for the time he spends trying to finally to make it with the girls. He shares some pretty funny stories about his failures in this arena - it is "chick lit" only for guys.
Then he starts med school and has an experience I think many of us had--he meets a handful of fellow students who form his inner circle and go on to become life-long friends. He studies hard, aces his rotations, and toys briefly with becoming a family doc. "Family practice," Daddy says when Tony tells him his plans, "You make no money...Work all day, all night, weekend, no money. Go broke!....Surgery! One proceejah, two thousand dollars." Later, Daddy changes his mind. "If you want to go into family practice, it's okay," he tells him. "Daddy understands. You do what makes you happy." But, Tony still hasn't told him his other transgression, one he assumes is even more serious, he not only has a girlfriend prior to finishing med school (a no-no per Daddy), the but Amy, also a medical student, is not Korean!

Best Medical Memoir I've Read All Year
By VAreader507
I've read ALL the medical memoirs - Atul Gawande's, Another Day In the Frontal Lobe, Weekends @ Bellevue --- you name it. And this was by far my favorite in recent memory. Dr. Youn is hilarious and his wry, sarcastic humor leaps off the page. His perspective on medical school and on his demanding Asian parents was so honest and his observations stuck with me for days. He's obviously an extremely caring person, but also doesn't hesitate to reveal some of his inner thoughts, including that he originally went to medical school....for the girls. I really really enjoyed this book - I recommend it to anyone who wants a laugh and an interesting story.
