Description: Author, David Black traces Aaron Kenigsberg's third year of medical school, the year wherein student makes the transition to doctor. Not only must students begin to make decisions affecting other human beings, they must withstand deprivation, little or no sleep for days on end, and a paucity of life outside the classroom/ hospital. This book is both the narrative of a young doctor and the examination of the humanistic revolution in medicine.--[book jacket].
