The House of God : The Classic Novel of Life and Death in an American Hospital
reviewed on + 55 more book reviews


This is THE MUST READ book for any med student/resident/doctor/nurse. Yes, it's dated, yes medicine has changed a lot and women are all empowered and all that stuff, but it had done more to help shape the culture of medicine than any other pop culture influence. More than ER, more than Grey's Anatomy. If nothing else, you need to read it to know The Laws of the House of God. Last but not least, it's funny as hell and a great read.
