Abraham Verghese, MD, MACP, is a distinguished Professor for the Theory and Practice of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and serves as the Senior Associate Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine. Born to Indian educators in Ethiopia, he began his medical training near Addis Ababa before completing it at Madras Medical College. After moving to the United States, he faced challenges typical for foreign medical graduates but eventually developed a significant career, particularly in the field of infectious diseases. His experiences during the early days of the HIV epidemic profoundly shaped his worldview and inspired his acclaimed memoir, *My Own Country: A Doctor's Story*. Verghese pursued his passion for writing by earning a Master of Fine Arts from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, leading to a prolific writing career that includes numerous articles and best-selling books, including *The Tennis Partner: A Story of Friendship and Loss*, which reflects his deep connections with patients and explores themes of addiction and human resilience.
