Internal Medicine: A Doctor's Stories

Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Kirkus Reviews and BookPage

â‚¬Å“Illuminates human fragility in tales both lyrical and soul-wrenching.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Danielle Ofri, New York Times Book Review

In this â‚¬Å“artful, unfailingly human, and understandableâ‚¬Â (Boston Globe) account inspired by his own experiences becoming a doctor, Terrence Holt puts readers on the front lines of the harrowing crucible of a medical residency. A medical classic in the making, hailed by critics as capturing â‚¬Å“the feelings of a young doctorâ‚¬s three-year hospital residency . . . better than anything else I have ever readâ‚¬Â (Susan Okie, Washington Post), Holt brings a writerâ‚¬s touch and a doctorâ‚¬s eye to nine unforgettable stories where the intricacies of modern medicine confront the mysteries of the human spirit. Internal Medicine captures the â‚¬Å“stark moments of success and failure, pride and shame, courage and cowardice, self-reflection and obtuse blindness that mark the years of clinical trainingâ‚¬Â (Jerome Groopman, New York Review of Books), portraying not only a doctorâ‚¬s struggle with sickness and suffering but also the fears and frailties each of usâ‚¬"doctor and patientâ‚¬"bring to the bedside.
