Book Description

Now a classic! The hilarious novel of the healing arts that reveals everything your doctor never wanted you to know. Six eager interns -- they saw themselves as modern saviors-to-be. They came from the top of their medical school class to the bottom of the hospital staff to serve a year in the time-honored tradition, racing to answer the flash of on-duty call lights and nubile nurses. But only the Fat Man --the Clam, all-knowing resident -- could sustain them in their struggle to survive, to stay sane, to love-and even to be doctors when their harrowing year was done.

Comments

From Customer:

I read this book in the early 1980's and laughed out loud then. I read it recently and laughed twice as hard. This is a classic!
It kind of makes you want to have day surgery all the time & never spend a night in a hospital!
