review 1: What is Match Day? It comes every year in March when medical students graduate and--depending on which hospitals they have ranked on a submitted list--find out exactly where in the country they will be spending the next 4-7 years of their lives. Brian Eule does a great job of describing how these choices determine so many important aspects of the future as he follows three young women for one year after their Match Day assignments. He should know; he was dating a young woman who wanted to become a surgeon and their story is included in this book. I really enjoyed this peek into an area that the general public literally knows nothing about. I appreciated Mr. Eule's honesty as well.
review 2: This book follows three female doctors through their last year of m... moreedical school and first year of residency. It also explores medical education in the United States and how it has changed over the years and looks at some of the special challenges facing the growing numbers of female doctors, such as work/life balance and when and if to have children. I thought it was a really interesting book; it provides lots of insight into what it takes to become a doctor, and the hopes, goals, and challenges of the three women are really brought to life. One of the three women is the author's girlfriend, so some of the book is also about their own personal experiences, which brings a memoir-like quality to it. less
