In Letters to a Young Doctor, Max Bader, an attending surgeon in 1960s New York, corresponds with a third-year medical student. What begins as guidance becomes something riskier: an invitation to face the places medicine would rather look away from. Each letter pairs with a story from his life—moments of rupture and reckoning where mercy isn't an abstraction, but a choice with consequences. A young doctor learns not only how to treat disease, but how to stay human in the process, or risk losing himself.

Today is Halloween, Max’s favorite day of the year. That’s because of trick-or-treating, the neighborhood haunted house, and he gets to dress up as his favorite superhero, Mr. Amazing. But the day doesn’t start off as Max had hoped. First, his best friend, Sam, also dresses up Mr. Amazing. That’s super embarrassing. Then he has to deal with the big kids at Filmore Middle School who keep tugging on his cape and snapping his mask. That is super annoying. And on top of it, his parents ruin his plans to go trick-or-treating. That is super upsetting.

It’s spring break! But Max doesn’t get to go to the comic book convention to see his favorite superhero Mr. Amazing like he wants to. No, he has to spend it at the beach with his family. And his vacation turns into one horrible disaster after another. First, there’s the sticky road trip, thanks to his little sister’s messy eating habits. Then, he suffers the worst sunburn ever, and to top all of that, his nose has a dangerous confrontation with a crab.

On the first day of school, Max’s alarm goes off bright and early. But he is not ready to get back into the routine of a new school year, especially not with all the dangers he has to face. First, he has to get ready and get out the door before Mom hits 10 on her stress-o-meter and goes nuclear. Then, he has to avoid the Tar Pit of Filmore Middle School and the school’s biggest bully Bart Johnson.
