This Doctor Uses Words Instead Of A Scalpel To Heal And Inspire People To Reach Their Full Potential

Boca Raton, FL
– We all have problems in life; but imagine, after years of hard work
and study to become a prominent surgeon, something goes horribly wrong
in the operating room and, in an instant, your life is forever changed.
It’s normally the patient that’s at risk of a complication in the
operating room, not the doctor. However, one day as Emile Allen, M.D.
was operating to save a woman’s life, he was electrocuted and nearly
died. He remembered hearing a voice telling him: “I’m not ready for you
yet. You have more work to do.” He had no way of knowing the challenges
he would face or how many times he would hear those words…

Dr.
Allen had suffered a brain injury and, in a split second, went from
performing intricate surgical procedures to struggling just to do simple
things such as counting change at the grocery store or reading a book.
The event not only changed his career but also his identity and
capabilities. At the time, he didn’t understand how significant the
impact of this incident would be for the rest of his life.

Eaten
By The Tiger: Surrendering to an Empowered Life, by Emile Allen, M.D.,
is a collection of stories and insights acquired through his personal
experiences as a surgeon, son and patient that helped get him through
the paralysis of emotional and physical loss. He had ridden the gamut of
emotions from shock and denial to full-blown depression. While learning
to meditate on vacation in Fiji, he heard ‘the words’ again and was
transcended to such a peaceful state of mind that his perception of the
rest of the world was heightened. He had truly found the meaning of
being “Eaten By The Tiger.”

For anyone who has experienced a
recent loss or might be struggling with life’s daily challenges, there
is at least one story in Allen’s personal journey that will undoubtedly
inspire you to find your own insights. Regardless of the reason, you
will be able to relate to something in his compelling story because it
will touch some aspect of your life.

Dr. Allen’s fascinating
inside stories of life as a surgeon, life lessons learned from his
frustration with the healthcare industry, and his own personal
experiences as a patient all exhibit a compassion for others that blends
perfectly with his dry wit and grabs the reader’s attention from the
first page. In sharing the extraordinary roller coaster ride of emotions
during his long recovery that prompted his journey of self-discovery,
readers may laugh or cry, but they will all be moved and inspired to
overcome their own obstacles and succeed at finding their own purpose in
life.

Dr. Allen is a graduate of Northwestern University
Medical School in Chicago. He completed his general surgery internship
and urology residency at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. He
is the former Chairman of Urology and Vice Chairman of Surgery at
Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, CA.  As a retired urologist, Dr.
Allen has turned his passion for helping others into inspirational
speaking and writing, touching more lives than he ever could have as a
surgeon.

Eaten By The Tiger is both motivating and empowering. In
candidly sharing all he experienced, from his darkest moments to his
utmost joy, Dr. Allen helps readers see that how we deal with life’s
challenges determines the outcome of our lives.
