Book Reviews of The House of God: The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital
Book Review: great book
Summary: 5 Stars
I was told to read this by the Dean of Medicine at Stanford. The book is funny and a great ice breaker when you talk to doctors, since most have read it.

Summary of The House of God: The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital
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.From the Paperback edition.
