Ever had surgery? Even the minor kind? Dr. Whang is an anesthesiologist -- one of the first people you meet when you go into the hospital for your surgery. He explains what NOT to say and why those questions are asked over and over again.

Notice a difference between your specialists -- such as the cardiologist, the ob-gyn doc, the internist? Whang does a great chapter about personality types and quirks among the specialists. I enjoyed this, especially because Grey's Anatomy is one of my favorite t.v. shows, of various surgeons.

Different rooms in the hospital are described -- what happens in the basement? Who are the most glamorous people in the hospital? To top it off, it is obvious Whang does NOT like hospital administrators (hello, Cuddy on House).
