About this product

Product Information

By turns heartbreaking, hilarious, and utterly human, The House of God is a mesmerizing and provocative novel about what it really takes to become a doctor. "The raunchy, troubling, and hilarious novel that turned into a cult phenomenon. Singularly compelling...brutally honest."-- The New York Times Struggling with grueling hours and sudden life-and-death responsibilities, Basch and his colleagues, under the leadership of their rule-breaking senior resident known only as the Fat Man, must learn not only how to be fine doctors but, eventually, good human beings. A phenomenon ever since it was published, The House of God was the first unvarnished, unglorified, and uncensored portrait of what training to become a doctor is truly like, in all its terror, exhaustion and black comedy. With more than two million copies sold worldwide, it has been hailed as one of the most important medical novels ever written. With an introduction by John Updike

"The raunchy, troubling, and hilarious novel that turned into a cult phenomenon.  Singularly compelling...brutally honest."-- The New York Times "Bawdy, blistering...this is Catch-22 with stethoscopes."-- Cosmopolitan "Wonderfully wild, ribald, erotic, bitter, compassionate...in the same spirit as Catch-22 ."-- The Seattle Times "A wildly funny, sad, laugh-out-loud, frightening, outrageous, thought-provoking, moving book...a story of modern medicine rarely, if ever, told."-- The Houston Chronicle "Does for the practice of medicine what Catch-22 and M*A*S*H did for the practice of warfare."-- The Newark Star-Ledger  "Mordantly funny, brilliantly ironic...A writer of outstanding substance and style."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    Just What The Doctor Ordered

    First time I read this book was at the time of its original release. Unfortunately in one of many moves it was lost. Finding it again was a stroke of luck as it is one of the most hilarious looks at the medical profession in a large city hospital ER. It's a lighter side view of the hurdles in dealing with the elderly whose minds have; for the great part, "checked out" leaving their bodies behind for someone else to deal with. The movie that was made under the same name just didn't do the book justice and couldn't deliver the true essence of the story. Going through the crash course of residency in the chaotic environment that can be found in hospitals in many major cities can be overwhelming. Add to that the special needs of the old and infirm then throw in the wacky execcentricities of a ...

    The House of God

    Read this as an intern + enjoyed it. Loaned out + never returned (like a lot of my medical texts)... Now after 30 yrs of practice, time to re-read it! Recommended.

    Great product. Need more like it.

    Great book. I enjoy reading it during my internship. Humorous. Easy to relate to years after its production. The book is a must read especially it came highly recommended from a respectable cardiologist.
