The
Intern Blues : The Timeless Classic About the Making of a Doctor by Robert Marion
Book Description: While supervising a small group of interns at a major New York medical
center, Dr. Robert Marion asked three of them to keep a careful diary over
the course of a year. Andy, Mark, and Amy vividly describe their real-life
lessons in treating very sick children; confronting child abuse and the
awful human impact of the AIDS epidemic; skirting the indifference of the
hospital bureaucracy; and overcoming their own fears, insecurities, and
constant fatigue. Their stories are harrowing and often funny; their personal
triumph is unforgettable.
This updated edition of The Intern Blues includes a new preface from
the author discussing the status of medical training in America today and
a new afterword updating the reader on the lives of the three young interns
who first shared their stories with readers more than a decade ago.
