Great Book

Funny book... an easy read, really enjoyed the interactions with patients. Waiting for his next book!

Wonderful!

An excellent look into the world of medicine! Dr. Drayer's outlook is one all doctors should share. Insightful, honest, and often hilarious. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in good reading.

Outstanding and insightful!

Dr. Drayer gets to the heart of the issues facing the medical profession today with a good dose of humor and warmth. Whether you've worked in the hospital or not, you'll appreciate the honesty and forthrightness the doctor uses in his description of today's medical system. Perhaps most happily of all, Dr. Drayer turns his pen upon himself as well, letting us know that no one, not even the author, is above making the occasional mistake so intrinsic to learning this most difficult of professions. Bravo!

Dr. Drayer is intelligent, insightful -- and hilarious!

Clever and witty! A must-read for every pre-med/medical student who has a hard time laughing at himself/herself -- Dr. Drayer will teach you how!

Absolutely Extraordinary!!!!!

This book does a fabulous job of captivating the true experiances of being a med student in such a brilliant way. When we hear about the glamorized study of medicine, many things are left out. Dr. Drayer does an excellent job of allowing his readers to venture through his medical school journey with him. All the while making sure to add very amusing stories, poems and anecdotes, throughout. The reader can really experiance, first hand, what he went through and learned along the way. This book kept me laughing for days and I suggest it to all, even those (like myself) not working in the medical field.
