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. ( )

The life of an intern is not a pleasant one... and it's worse when everyone seems to have a grudge against one, and one is just TOO TIRED for extra battles.

Jane does need to develop more of a spine. While she likely can't do anything about her malevolent supervisor, she does not need to fold immediately when presented with outrageous demands from her assigned roommate and her supposed "peer" intern... although, remembering what it was like not getting sleep as a new mother, I can sympathize with why she folded! After some point, sleep is ALL you want!

I look forward to reading more in this series. Not only is it well-written, but it's a fascinating peek into a world I know little about. ( )
