Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis audiobook.

Genre: drama

Sinclair Lewis' Arrowsmith follows Martin Arrowsmith, a restless young man from the American Midwest who is determined to become the kind of doctor who serves truth before comfort. From medical school lectures and small town practice to big city hospitals and elite research laboratories, Martin keeps running into the same question: is medicine a calling, a business, or a science? Guided and challenged by mentors, colleagues, and rivals - including the uncompromising researcher Max Gottlieb - he is pulled between competing worlds: the pressure to please patients, the lure of professional status, and the lonely discipline of laboratory work. At the same time, his marriage to the spirited and steadfast Leora provides both refuge and a mirror for his ambitions. As public health crises and institutional politics close in, Martin must decide what he is willing to sacrifice for discovery, and whether integrity can survive inside systems built on money, reputation, and power. Sharp, funny, and unsettling, Arrowsmith is a classic portrait of idealism tested by the modern world.
