This review is from: Intern (Hardcover)

I first stumbled upon this book over 20 years ago at the library, and upon finding it used some years later, snapped it up. I've nearly memorized it and I never fail to find something I missed last time I read it.

Until I learned the actual identity of the doctor (Dr. Alan Nourse, renowned juvenile sci-fi writer and longtime health columnist for Good Housekeeping), I wondered if he ever wrote anything else and was thrilled to learn he had. Upon doing so, I raided the magazine archives at my local library and yes, this book was a huge best-seller (although long out of print, it isn't hard to find) and got a lot of press when it was released.

Dr. Nourse died way too soon, in 1992 at age 64.

This book is excellent even though it is slightly outdated. The struggle with medical internship is not much different now than it was then. If you want to KNOW how it feels read this book!
