Description: This book is a mesmerzing and provacative journey that takes us into the lives of 6 interns at the most renowned teaching hospital in the country where they learn not only how to be fine doctors, but eventually good human beings. The author has created an unvarnished, unglorified, and amazingly forthright portrait revealing the depth of caring, pain, pathos, and tragedy felt by all who spend their lives treating patients and have dared to stand at the crossroads between science and humanity. -- Publisher description
