DESIGNED BY: Eve Metz. JACKET DESIGN BY: Lawrence Ratzkin. SYNOPSIS: Perhaps most accurately described as The Making of a Young Doctor (or The Physician in Spite of Himself), this wholly engaging journal--written with a wonderful blend of sensibility, humor and charm--records the dramatic third year of medical school, in which the student becomes a participant in all the services of a hospital and gets his first real experience in the art (and science) of healing. All the atmosphere and ordered chaos of a big metropolitan hospital are captured here as we follow John MacNab's transformation from apprentice into physician: funny, heartwarming, disturbing sketches of patients and colleagues, of trial-and-error medicine not covered in textbooks, of cardiac monitoring machines that bleep in rhythm to Muzak-piped "Pennies From Heaven" and "You Only Live Twice"; accounts of his first successful tracheotomy (the patient almost died), of his first Miracle Cure (Ace bandages applied to the limbs of a hysterical paralytic), of his first Real Cure (removal of a fishbone from a colon); his brilliant psychiatric diagnosis of a 13-year-old insomniac (his mother practiced witchcraft nightly--who could sleep through that?); his constant fatigue--having to absorb endless procedures, techniques, lectures, all while trying to keep his enthusiasm and alertness intact. Which he does. We see him emerge finally as the essentially solid, compassionate and committed person one would like to have as one's own physician, and the journal that takes us through his initiation into the medical profession is both informative and a joy to read.
