Welcome to Mt. Misery,psychiatric hospital, home of the crazed, the suicidal, the Machiavellian,and the wicked. Here lurk compulsive liars, unrepentant adulterers, sexual deviates, even a certifiable lunatic or twol And those are just the doctors. It's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for the 90s.
Didn't get around to reading it, and have too many other books to read to last me a couple years, so I am passing it on in the hopes someone else can enjoy it.
LOVED House of God though...

A sequel to THE HOUSE OF GOOD, good, but not quite as entertaining as the first. Overall a good read.
A fictionalized expose of life told from the perspective of a Boston area psychiatrist at a famous psychiatric facility.
"This book takes place at Mount Misery psychiatric hospital, home of the crazed, the suicidal, and the wicked." "Here lurk compulsive liars, unrepentant adulterers, sexual deviates, and even a certifiable lunatic or two." "And those are just the doctors".
A new kind of medical thriller - the inside, behind the scenes, outragous world of the psychiatric hospital. Through satirical (and just plain funny) humor we get a new understanding of mental illness and the 'healers' that are believed in.
