Rating:  Summary: Everyone will get something from this book Review: What a joy to read! Ofri's book pulls the reader into the fascinating world of medical training. One is able to see what really happens on the wards of a busy hospital from her unique perspective. More interestingly, though, is the bird's eye view the reader will get of the life of a physician-in-training. Things you never thought possible will come into light, and Ofri will drag you through them as if they were commonplace occurrences. She has a knack for capturing the essence of learning medicine and putting it down on paper where even a non-medically oriented reader will not be able to put the book down.
Rating:  Summary: wonderfully written and compelling Review: With wry humor, grace, honesty, and intelligence, Danielle Ofri takes us into the bewildering world of medical training from a doctor's point of view. Though many of her experiences will be familiar to anyone in medicine, what sets this book apart is the deftness and fidelity with which those experiences are rendered. For the medical and non-medical reader alike, I couldn't recommend it more highly.--An ER doctor in Albuquerque, New Mexico
