This is the first book of Carl Hiaasen, the ghostwriter. ".In this irreverent fictionalized look at medical schools and the training our future doctors receive, Lloyd Goldman learns that locating your funny bone is the first thing you have to do in order to survive four frantic and frustrating years. Goldman had always wanted to be a physician, but he wasn't quite prepared for the fierce competition, the stamina required, and the bewildering, often absurd situations he encounters. Mixing both anquish and antics -- from losing his first patient to misplacing a cadaver's gall bladder -- the book is an eye-opening and side-splitting story of one young man's journey through medical training."
