Alison's review of The House of God: The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital
The House of God: The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital by Samuel Shem
This book is a must read for any physician in training. It is not always pleasant and forces everyone (I think) to take a hard look in the mirror about the realities of who you must become to survive medical training. Things are better now I think (compared to the 70s when it was written), but there are definitely things that have not changed at all. My husband and I were both baffled though about how we did not see this much "action" ;) during our residency---that part must have changed in the past 30 years!
