Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Well, SOMEONE has read House of God... This book is very similar to House of God but not nearly as well written, seems self-published without the benefit of an editor and pissed me off quite a bit. There was nurse insulting and I find that very offensive; I am a nurse. That being said, medical students do not give orders and certainly have no legal right to independently write a medical order. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess this author was put in his place at some point by a nurse and that's the motive behind the poor portrayal he gives of nurses. People who aren't on the caregiver side of medicine will read this and believe these things are true. Nope, they're not. He has greatly embellished the roles that med students have. The get to watch, get grilled by attendings, write reports and if they're really good the attending will stand by the student's side and let him/her physically write an order the attending dictates. The situations written about here are pure fiction, please don't believe otherwise. Good thing this was free.
