The House Of God: The Classic Novel Of Life And Death In An American Hospital

The Story

'Brilliant !' -- 'Chicago Tribune.' 'Bawdy blistering... this is 'Catch-22' with stethoscopes.' -- 'Cosmopolitan.' Now a classic! The hilarious novel of the healing arts that reveals everything your doctor never wanted you to know. Six eager interns -- they saw themselves as modern saviors-to-be. they came from the top of their medical school class to the bottom of the hospital staff to serve a year in the time-honored tradition, racing to answer the flash of on-duty call lights and nubile nurses. But only the Fat Man --the Clam, all-knowing resident -- could sustain them in their struggle to survive, to stay sane, to love-and even to be doctors when their harrowing year was done. 'Does for the practice of medicine what 'Catch-22' and 'M*A *S *H' did for the practice of warfare.' -- 'The Newark Star-Ledger' 'Wildly funny... frightening... outrageous, moving... a story of modern medicine rarely, if, ever told.' -- 'The Houston Chronicle'
