About this listen
What happens when a dedicated doctor ventures into the heart of the world’s biggest disasters? From the aftermath of devastating earthquakes to communities ravaged by hurricanes, On the Edge is a gripping memoir of medical heroism, resilience, and the human spirit.
Between 2010 and 2020, Dr. Andrew Siskind traveled the globe, answering the call to serve in medical crises where resources were scarce, and hope was often the only lifeline. With firsthand accounts of astonishing medical cases, life-threatening challenges, and moments of triumph against insurmountable odds, this book sheds light on the realities of disaster medicine—where cultural, financial, political, and religious barriers test the limits of human endurance.
Whether you're fascinated by emergency response, global health, or stories of ordinary people making an extraordinary impact, On the Edge will inspire, educate, and ignite a passion for volunteerism.
