"Obviously dated (came out in ‘65, but his Intern training was around ‘57, when I was born) and very gripping story of his intern year as a doctor. I first read it as a Readers Digest condensed book not long after it was published, and this is probably my 2d or 3d reread since then." — Oct 12, 2019 01:32AM

But hey, his fucking gutters were clean.”

“Suddenly the thought that the end of her life was imminent shocked him; it was one thing to pity someone he didn't know, quite another to face the same dilemma with someone he knew intimately. That was the trouble with beds. They turned strangers into intimates more quickly than ten years of polite teas in parlours.”
