Book Reviews of The House of God: The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital

Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

I graduated from medical school in 1987 and finished residency in 1990. I had heard about The House of God for years and I am glad I finally read it. I found it provoking, entertaining, and easy to read. It certainly brings back some all too familiar memories -- though many of the issues remain relevent and contemporary!
