Why read it?
1 author picked M. D. as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a typical first-person account of a student in a program (medical, in this case) who encounters some discrepancies between the idealistically-drawn portrait of how a medical school is supposed to operate and the actual realities in which jealousies, territoriality, and the ongoing scramble to acquire and defend power within the institution play a major role. The main character is naïve to such considerations until they are made apparent to him.
From Allan's list on memoirs from interns, activists, feminists and others.
