Intern by Doctor X (Alan E. Nourse) 1965

It IS of course dated, but now it comes across as a fascinating chapter in the history of medical training.

The week-by-week diary of a young doctor during his year of hospital internship. Frank, sometimes shocking, and completely honest, it is the first inside account of modern medical and hospital practice that has ever been presented to the American public.

Intern gives the reader a gripping picture of hospital routine, of the exhaustion that round the clock duty inflicts, of the conflicts, incredible blunders, frantic improvisations, heroic efforts that occur every day....

This is an unprecendented document. Every event is completely true; only actual names and places have been concealed to protect the privacy of the individuals involved.
