impact how?  what reforms?
starting with the Libby Zion case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libby_Zion, movements started to reduce the hours of duty time that interns and residents could work in a week and a month. Several of my professors complained that the depiction of intern hours in The House of God had added fuel to the reform fires. I was not popular when I pointed out that both "Intern, by Doctor X" and "The Making of a Surgeon," by William Nolen also documented the same sort of abuses of the house officers.

message: Doctors will get the in-jokes and half-truths wisdom of the laws, but do we need to explain some of the (sensible) aspects to some of these laws. With no particular regard for well crafted English, some initial thoughts are:
#GOMERS DON’T DIE. 
#* ?add the converse to this "...only the young  get fatal illnesses"
#* Elderly patients are often seen by medical services, often with recurring treatable chronic conditions, whereas more robust younger patients are often less frequent attendees but with  potentially more serious life-threatening acute conditions.  
#GOMERS GO TO GROUND. 
#* Elderly patients mat be at risk of falls, which may be exacerbated by polypharmacy, sedation and blood-pressure treatment. amended interpretation Nomen NescioGnothi seauton 10:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Seems like there could be some influence on Scrubs (TV series) re harried resident sarcastically mentoring newbie interns.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.112.122.233 (talk • contribs) 
#Of course. There are direct quotes from the book in the show, such as "SHOW ME A MEDICAL STUDENT WHO ONLY TRIPLES MY WORK AND I WILL KISS HIS FEET." and "IF YOU DON’T TAKE A TEMPERATURE, YOU CAN’T FIND A FEVER."

I don't think this section should have been removed. How can you justify that it 'does not relate'?? Simon 07:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Did the book really introduce terms like buff and turf, or were the terms used, and just popularised by the book? Winstonwolfe 08:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: 'Mount Misery' was already a sequel to 'The House of God', following the main character from 'The House of God', Dr. Roy Basch, as he goes into psychiatry. 'Man's 4th Best Medical Hospital' follows the Fat Man from 'The House of God'. It would be more accurate to say there are multiple sequels. Both are described as sequels on the author's website (http://www.samuelshem.com/v2/). The full title of the more recent book is 'The Sequel to The House of God: Man's 4th Best Medical Hospital'. 2A02:1811:B605:4E00:382C:F507:1D9:AE44 (talk) 21:34, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
