Dr. Grass

by Grania Davis

AN M.D. AS OUTRAGEOUS AS YOUR DOCTOR’S BILL!Ernie Spiegelglass gets high, gets involved, and is about to complete his residency...he hopes.Brash, brilliant, and often profane, Ernie (alias Doc Sparrowgrass) enters the world of a San Francisco clinic and turns the entire place upside down with his riotous romances and his own unique style—which includes treating patients like people. The medical establishment is turned off to his idea of medicine—from the heart, not by the book—but Ernie can't turn his back on anyone who comes to him for help, even if it means jeopardizing his career.DR. GRASS is a funny, honest, poignant book about a hippie from the 1960s growing up and not selling out in the 1970s.

The 70’s San Francisco vibe and Sonia were the only redeeming bits in this book. Every male character, ESPECIALLY the main character, were genuinely disgusting. I know it was written at a different time…but there were some scenes hard to get through! Which is such a bummer since I got a super cute old copy of it from a vintage sale last summer and I want to keep it for my collection. The ending got better but couldn’t overlook some of it.

I remember this book as a very good-hearted work. It did seem to have a slight sexist element, as the main gal turns out to lose some weight, and I think that's to please Ernie, the main guy. But then I also always assumed the author was a male when apparently the author is a female. See Wiki"
