Review

The House of God by Samuel Shem

The comparisons to Catch-22 are on the money, though this book comes up a bit lacking in terms of craft and power. Occasionally there are artfully written sentences, amidst the (sometimes laugh-out-loud) humor and absurdity of medicine.

A “classic” and “must read” for medical students and residents, they say. We’ll see.
