Now a classic! The hilarious novel of the healing arts that reveals everything your doctor never wanted you to know.

But only the Fat Man --the calm, all-knowing resident -- could sustain them in their struggle to survive, to stay sane, to love-and even to be doctors when their harrowing year was done.
