I really enjoyed this book. There are a couple stories that are a little wierd, but all in all, the stories are intereting and weave together nicely for a look at a few med students through the years.
An interesting fictional account of medical school experience thru residency of Canadian physicians. Written by an ER physician, many of the stories seem to reflect a personal experience. Struggles choosing studies vs personal relations, what happens during dissecting labs, dealing with SARS among health care providers, what happens to a women in advanced labor while her husband is stuck out of town, managing a paranoid patient - all scenarios have ring of truth. If you are interested in medical education and practice, you will enjoy.

I wasn't too impressed with this book. I guess I was expecting something more "Grey's Anatomy", and this book just didn't have that excitement for me. I finished it, but found myself bored most of the time.
