Book Reviews of Intern: A Doctor's Initiation

Book Review: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Summary: 1 Stars

Dr. Jauhar has heard it before and he still doesn't have a clue. In his book Intern, he used 'the power of the pen', to retaliate against those who most likely, unknowingly, made him feel insecure. It is obvious to the reader that he never felt 'good enough' to be at Weill Cornell. The character known as 'Dr. David Klein' (not his real name) was one of the most beloved physicians at NYH - anything but an elitist. Most of his patients were of the low-middle class socioeconomic status. He was kind to everyone, patients and staff alike. The chapter Pride and Prejudice is a bunch of disingenuous garbage. It is interesting, and quite cowardly that Dr. Jauhar waited until 'Dr David Klein' died to put these words to print. The irony: Don't you live on the Upper East Side, Mr Elitist?
