The Year of the Intern (A Medical Thriller) by Robin Cook (Epub)

Description

The nurse’s voice on the phone is desperate, but young Dr. Peters, in his first weeks of internship, is only bone-tired and a little afraid. He has forgotten when he last slept. Yet he knows that in the coming hours he will have to make life-or-death decisions regarding patients, assist contemptuous surgeons in the operating room, deal with nurses who may know more than he does, cope with worried relatives and friends of the injured and ill, and pretend at all times to be what he has not yet become–a fully qualified doctor.

This book is about what happens to a young intern as he goes through the year that promises to make him into a doctor, and threatens to destroy him as a human being–

⭐ The Year Of The Intern chronicles the year a young doctor spends as an intern. Along with lots of fascinating medical detail, the book takes a searingly honest look at the physical and psychological cost to the intern. These include: the near-indescribable exhaustion, the expectation of carrying out complicated and risky procedures the intern does not have the experience for, the life-or-death decisions to be made daily, dealing with anxious, angry and distraught relatives and, worst of all, the gradual ebbing of empathy eg Dr Peters starts thinking of each patient by their disease rather than their name.What really disturbed me was the fact that this was written in 1972 and so little has really changed. This should be compulsory reading for anyone thinking of entering the medical or nursing professions. If it doesn’t put you off, you’ve found your calling!

⭐ This is Robin Cook’s first book and is a bit different than his books that he did afterwards. I found that it was a brave book for him to have written in the medical field as there is that “code of Doctors” and letting us in to see what the life of an Intern is like before the next step is inlightening as well as informative. Even though there are a few changes since this book was written, it is sad to say that the Interns still do so much without lack of proper sleep and it is like the ones that went through becoming a Doctor want the next group to have to do the same thing without thinking of the safety of the patient. If you can get a hold of this book it is worth reading.

⭐ This book was written in the early 70’s. What I loved most about this book is the truth to it. I am a registered nurse and work with a lot of interns. It is amazing that although this book was written a long time ago, nothing has changed. This book is not only entertaining, but it also will give you a very good idea of what it is REALLY like to be an intern. It did amaze me after reading this that after all this time, again, nothing has changed. I could almost say that this book does not belong in the fiction category. Robin Cook fans will enjoy this one and medical professionals will appreciate this one as well! Happy Reading!! 🙂

⭐ Read this book many years ago and just had to read it again. I don’t know how anyone makes it through a year of being an intern. With lack of sleep due to such long hours, makes a person wonder just how many mistakes are made. I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Cook at a medical convention in Boston, MA. Made my day!

⭐ good

⭐ What can i say its Robin Cook!! I love this guy! Im glad i ordered it!

⭐ At first, the temptation is to read this book as an autobiography of Robin Cook. Don’t give in to it, or you might be further tempted, as I was, to swear off reading anything else by the author. The experiences of the main character are fascinating, and that almost allows you to overlook his increasingly unavoidable character flaws. Mercifully, Dr. Peters isn’t Dr. Cook. He’s an avenue by which Cook diagnoses the symptoms of a disease doctors catch from internship. It is damning of the medical field that this book is so relevant in the 21st century.In the end, the book is brave, subtle, and excellently crafted.

⭐ It is just want I needed to complete my collection. Now I can finish read all of this author books in this series.

⭐ Another great book by Robin Cook!Yes,it was written several years ago, but Robin Cook had written just as awesome back then as he does now! I highly recomend this read.Ordered through Amazon and was extremely happy with the prompt delivery as usual.

⭐ (Dr.) Cook’s earlier book submissions were far superior.
