In the Name of Training is a bold and unsettling examination of the abuse, ragging, and silence normalised within medical education. Challenging the idea that cruelty builds strength, the book exposes how humiliation and trauma are passed off as “training,” leaving medicos broken and unheard. Written with honesty and urgency, it confronts parents, institutions, and society for valuing tradition and reputation over mental health and life itself. This book is not meant to comfort—it is meant to awaken, provoke, and stop the cycle before another medico is lost to silence.
