Review title: Disappointing
Product review: I bought this book because author Perri Klass has somehow acquired a stellar reputation as a medical author. The operative word in the preceding sentence is "somehow," as I'm sure you noticed. This namby-pamby book is a reasonably accurate but dull rendition of what it is like to be a medical student, but the book is more about Klass' circuitous introspections and exhausting analyses than it is a book of interesting stories. In fact, I was so disappointed by this book that I re-read Klass' submission in "Emergency Room-Lives Saved and Lost: Doctors Tell Their Stories" to see if her book may have been an aberration of her youth, similar to Crichton's "Five Patients." Bottom line: The scorecard? Klass is now 0 for 2.
