Internal Medicine: A Doctor's Stories

Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Kirkus Reviews and BookPage
â€œIlluminates human fragility in tales both lyrical and soul-wrenching.â€ â€•Danielle Ofri, New York Times Book Review
In this â€œartful, unfailingly human, and understandableâ€ (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€œthe feelings of a young doctorâ€™s three-year hospital residency . . . better than anything else I have ever readâ€ (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€œstark moments of success and failure, pride and shame, courage and cowardice, self-reflection and obtuse blindness that mark the years of clinical trainingâ€ (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.
