Intern: A Doctor's Initiation Sandeep Jauhar
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Sandeep Jauhar, director of the Heart Failure Program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and author of Intern: A Doctor's Initiation, on the rising commercialisation of the medical profession, in the New York Times. INTERN received a nice review in this week's New England Journal of Medicine. The books are coming fast and furious these days. Who hasn't written their memoir of becoming a doctor? I'm actually in progress with house of god right nowstupid blocks getting in the way of my reading. Here it is: INTERN: A DOCTOR'S INITIATION. Intern: A doctor's initiation by Sandeep Jauhar. The serious one was Intern: a doctor's initiation, by Sandeep Jauhar. Jauhar entered medical school comparatively late, having tried 3 or 4 other careers first and wanting nothing less than to be a doctor. I've gotta say my favorite book of this genre (whatever you'd call it) is "Intern: A Doctor's Initiation" by Sandeep Jauhar, M.D. Intern is Sandeep Jauhar's story of his days and nights in residency at a busy hospital in New York City. New York, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008. One of the books that I try to read each year before all the new doctors (aka interns) are allowed to write orders for patients and assume responsibility for parts of their care.
