Discontinue Leeches!! And Other Stories from an ENT’s Training

About the Book

Training to become a doctor can be rewarding, frustrating, messy, and above all, absurd. The stories contained within this book are the collected experiences of one hapless otolaryngology trainee through internship, residency, fellowship, and beyond. He only hopes that these stories will serve as a glimpse into the frequently maddening world of medicine and offer a modicum of insight into the modern-day training of doctors. And yes, that much swearing is sometimes necessary.
