Intern: A Doctor's Initiation by Sandeep Jauhar

Jauhar's memoir is honest. He isn't afraid to write the truth, his hesitance towards becoming a doctor or his fear of failure. Most importantly he explains just how grueling the process is that one must undergo in order to become a doctor.

This personal account tells about the constant struggle within himself and with the over burdened health care system.

This book isn't exactly as interesting as one would think and you do have to have some degree of medical knowledge in order to understand some of the procedures and diseases that are discussed.

I am neither impressed or displeased with this memoir. It falls somewhere in the middle.
