The House of God: The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital by Samuel Shem
This book was compared to Catch-22. It was in no way anywhere near the caliber of writing as Catch-22, and people don't constantly have sex in the callroom. It was poorly written and rather inaccurate. Maybe residents were that incompetent in 70s, I don't know. But accuracy aside, I had trouble turning the pages due to the lack of eloquence in Samuel Shem's satire. He had several clever sections, which is why I said it was okay.
