Trade Review"Fast-paced memoir."—Wall Street Journal"Amusing medical stories as seen through the eyes of a new doctor."—Kirkus Review"Rivkees . . . documents his time at Mass General with wit, humor, and at times, sadness. Just two months out of medical school, Rivkees encountered his first meningitis case—an eight-week-old girl. It's cases like this that make the book a worthwhile read because we get to see what happens inside one of the country's top hospitals through the eyes of a green freshman."—Boston Magazine"A new humorous — and at times serious — memoir . . . highlights what residency is truly like, and what the medical school textbooks don't teach, like how to survive long weeks, sleepless nights and whirlwind days at the hospital."—University of Florida Health
