Internal Medicine by Terrence Holt 616 Hol

I enjoyed this look into the hospital stories as seen through the eyes of a resident.  It was another reminder that you really don't want to go into the hospital when the residents are brand new!
Thank heaven for competent nurses and techs.  And how can anyone be expected to practice medicine when they are sleep deprived???  Back to the book -  it is made up of chapters which are glimpses into what it takes to become a doctor.  These are touching stories - what to tell the family when there is bad news, how far to go for someone who isn't going to make it, watching a hospice patient in the final days.  Holt also writes a lot about the families of these patients (and there is a message there for anyone who hasn't made it clear to their families what they want in a medical situation!!!!!!  Do it today.)
