Humorous take on an intern's first few weeks on rotation in the hospital. Jane McGill has a bossy mentor (the devil), who is always criticizing Jane. Then, there is sexy surgeon Ryan, who is interested in Jane, but Jane may have blown it when she leaves him a scathing message about responding to her pages.
Poor Jane is exhausted after working over 24 hours with no sleep. She is assigned multiple cases, and their cases exhaust her physically and emotionally. She has a nasty roommate, with very weird habits and rules. But Jane does manage to connect to people, both her patients and Ryan - and they share some sweet moments.
A nice sweet, and funny, romance. Quick read. ( )

I'll be honest - I didn't expect to like this book at all. I half hate-read Fizzy McFizz's totally obnoxious blog: A Cartoon Guide to Being a Doctor, because she is just so self-pitying, especially about residency. I went into this knowing that this was a semi-fictionalized account of Fizzy's intern year and expected the same over the top, self-pitying whining about a pretty normal internship.
I've got to say, this was more enjoyable than I expected, and on the nose about many aspects of medical training: it had the intern who always seems to manage to do less work than everyone else (and yet still complains about it), the cruel senior resident who seems to be enjoy being mean and you wonder how she can possibly also be a mom (my equivalent senior resident made me cry when I was an intern...more than once), the way that there is a culture to how to do everything (in my program it's four-colored pens, rather than sticky notes), and how bad things happen only to the nicest patients.
Overall, it was kind of fun and not nearly as obnoxious as expected. ( )

This was a short look on the daily life of an interns day to day hell. Not anything new but it was fun. Also, definitely not anything thrilling related like the authors other books, but well done for this genre. ( )

A light, entertaining book about an intern at a County Hospital. On to sequel ( )

I couldn't put it down! It made me laugh out loud, but then it brought me to the brink of tears. The ending was rather sudden, but overall it was an amazing book. I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard at a book. Unfortunately Jem...Jan... oh yea, Jane has the same luck I have, which is practically in the negative numbers. ( )
