A doctor's look back
By Rahudimer V StBanderzodie on February 17, 2013
Format: Paperback
I read this book many years ago a few years after completing a rotating internship and found myself mumbling "my God, I knew everyone of these people!". Of course by then it was hilarious, but at the time it was happening to me, it was not funny. It was very hard, dirty work. Anyway, I sort of identified with the Fat Man. I will purchase this book and give it to my son, AFTER he completes his year. Then he will laugh. Not before.

Should be a textbook for Medical Ethics Class
By Amazon Customer on August 28, 2011
Format: Paperback
I read this book while in Respiratory School. I think it should be required reading for anyone taking a Medical Ethics class or considering a medical career. At the time of reading it, I was skeptical and cynical that such treatment and events happened. But as my career in a hospital continued, golden phrases came floating back such as "GOMERs go to ground" and "turfing".

I know it made me much more conscious of my relationships with my patients and made them a lot more human. I recommend it highly.

Like another purchaser, I received this book - its written in German. And, like another purchaser, it is not clear anywhere that this version is in german.

You had to be there.
By G.S. on May 18, 2014
Format: Paperback
I have trouble thinking of another novel whose only real audience is those who have been through a similar experience. If you are not in medicine, you may not want to bother. In either case, it's sexist, racist, and, in edition after edition, sloppily edited.

By jerome dilling on July 28, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The book is written in German and it was not clear to me that it was written in German. Therefore, I can't read it. I don't know what to do with it now.
