"The only people who think you're a real doctor are you and your mom." Not exactly the warm welcome naive Wisconsin med school graduate Sal Iaquinta is expecting after moving to urban Oakland, California for his first year of surgical residency. Now all this new doctor's got to look forward to is somehow surviving the next 365 days of drug-addicted patients, sleep deprivation, brutal work hours, and even more brutal staff surgeons while also trying desperately to hang onto his humanity...not to mention his girlfriend back home. But as hard as They try to kill him by crushing his spirit along with his compassion, the one thing his superiors can't do is stop the clock. And it's just started to tick. For brand-new doctor Sal Iaquinta, the only way out of his intern year is the same way he got in: one patient, one day at a time.

Salvatore Iaquinta is a part-time author and full time surgeon in the San Francisco Bay Area. After spending years of his life looking for the ultimate joke, he discovered that the joke is life itself. He now lives by the motto "Laughter is the best medicine, but surgery is a close second." Enough already, I can't talk about myself in the third-person. My original goal for "The Year They Tried to Kill Me" was to tell people what it takes to become a surgeon. The gritty stories would scare students from becoming surgeons. But somewhere along the way I realized I just wanted to write a story to amuse people; a glimpse behind the scenes that lets them know their stoic doctor is actually human...a fallible human.
