讲的是Cornell的一个intern的如何度过第一年的
看完之后,我觉得和第一年的经历很相似,很多困惑,痛苦和绝望都能在里面看到,觉
得原来并不是自己才有。当然,这本书书amg写的,不能说完全反应了img的情况,但是
我觉得还是很好。另外就是里面的语言很好,非常简洁形象,而且临床感很强
摘录里面的两个小段
1. By this point of my internship, I had already come to appreciate that
there was a fundamental disconnect in the hospital. Good relations with
patients weren't rewarded; efficiency was, which meant focusing on the work
at hand, operating with a kind of remote control, in front of computer
screens and nursing charts and requisitions forms, an on the phone. Face-to-
face time was relatively insignificant part of the job. The high counters
around the staff workstation delineated not jst the workspace but a type of
kingdom,too. It might as well have been ringed by a moat.
2. That was the sad reality of residency: much of your time you were
ordering tests to protect yourself. "The endgame of life is so depressing. "
I wrote in my diary book. "Look at Mr. Fisher, Successful lawyer, Goldberg
patient. Now look at him. Sick, febrile, dying of who-knows-what: cancer, TB
, sarcoidosis? If you think about it, it could make all of life seem
unworthwhile if, in the end, we end up dying in the hospital, awakened at
4AM, by a student intern tyring to another set of blood cultures."
做了这么久的intern,看到上面的话,觉得非常有同感,这些是没有做之前很难体会到
的,作者很好的表达了出来,看看还是好的。另外,我觉得这个比House of God(
Intern story in BIDMC要写得好,那个时代太久远了,而且文笔也不如这个好)
