This book is very bad. It tells you how to do things wrong most of the time. It doesnt give good explanations on how to do things. My teacher has to tell us how to do it right and she explains it to us.

Another book by Marion that is an easy read and really tells the whole story behind becoming a doctor. There are several interns that tell their story through internship. Great book if you are interested in the medical field.

I'm a regular visitor to the medical reference sections of bookstores, not because I work in the field, but just out of curiousity. Not only is this book good background for med students, but also for the people who are patients or users of teaching hospitals. I felt like this book gave me some insight into the lives of the people whom I rely on to help keep my body healthy. Good stuff here.

I am sixteen years old and I want to become a doctor and this book has been perfect for me to read. What a wonderful idea for a book that Dr. Marion thought of-- by taking a diary of 3 different interns and showing how their internship truly is. It's just an excellent book, one that took me just a week to read. As I read this book, I felt like I was beginning to personally know these three interns through their good times and struggles. I look forward to reading the sequel. I would really like to know what Amy, Mark, and Andy are doing now and how they feel about this book. Excellent job, Dr. Marion!

you can easily put it down 1/3 the way through and still be gladyou read it!! Very strong, realistic look inside of the internyear of a doctor's training. I have read it twice.

This is a great book if you want to read about 3 interns in the mid-80's describe their days - basically venting into a tape recorder about the frustrations of their days. I bought this book after being sucked into the genre by Atul Gawande's "Complications," and bought both "Intern Blues" and Michael Ruhl's "Walk on Water". I highly recommend both of the other books - they have exactly what I read non-fiction for - thoughtful, insightful analysis of a subject I'd like to know more about. "Intern Blues"... I wouldn't have bothered to finish the book if I hadn't spent money on it.
