Prescription in Life opens with an unflinchingly honest reflection on what it truly means to journey through pharmacy school not as the perfect student, but as someone who has struggled, stumbled, and learned through both awkward defeats and small victories. Dr. Yogendra Shrestha admits his own imperfections, missed lectures, and unconventional path to clinical competency, emphasizing that real pharmacy is lived, not simply learned from notes or textbooks. With humor and humility, he shares stories that transcend exam preparation and delve into the daily realities of ward learning, sarcasm-laced lessons from teachers, and the transformative power of patient encounters. This book is offered not as a manual or a guide to acing exams, but as a companion for any student or clinician seeking connection, comfort, and the reassurance that true growth is found in honesty and lived experience.
