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.

  • The book is good if your not mad about the cover!

    I attempted to buy this book with the very cover it had displayed on the listing. My ICU mentor lent everyone his copy to read. Unfortunately my mentor died. I wanted to buy this book to have as a keepsake. It was advertised with a certain cover and I didn’t get that cover. Truly disappointed and will continue to look in used book stores for the copy I want.
