Book Reviews of Learning to Play God
Book Review: Good look at medical training in US
Summary: 5 Stars
A very accurate account of one man's medical school
education and training. This author, who is obviously a
very sensitive and compassionate man, reveals how sleep
deprivation, overwork, and lack of respect from doctor
colleagues help turn today's doctors into unfeeling,
irritable, automatons.
It is telling, that a man such as this author, an
obviously caring, perceptive doctor, was denied admission to
many U.S. medical schools, and had to begin his training
in another country. (Fortunately, after 6 months in a
foreign school, the author was lucky enough to make a
U.S. contact who helped him get into a U.S.medical school.)
