Both my girlfriend and I have read this book and both of us were sadly disappointed. If you are looking for information on what medical school entails in terms of what rotations you come upon, then this is a great read, but usually that information is available simpler on most medical schools websites. Melvin Konner, arrogant and brash, should rename his book "I am right and everyone else is wrong". If you are looking for a poorly written dialogue on the criticism of Doctors and criticism of the way medical school is run THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! A great but semi-dated book on medical training is "The Intern Blues" check it out.
