description: To the world-famous teaching hospital ("the House of God") come six impassioned interns--each planning to be the savior for whom the medical world waits. One is Roy Basch, Rhodes Scholar and recent graduate of the Best Medical School. His lofty ideals sag as he copes with repugnant day-to-day realities. Dodging hospital politics but enduring endless hours of work and vital responsibility, he works his way through an internship that is bizarre but has at least recognizable particles of truth. "Wonderfully wild, ribald, erotic...in the same spirit as CATCH-22 or M*A*S*H." (Seattle Times) X-rated for ribaldry.
