review 1: Just hysterical. Had me reading parts out clouds to my husband and it's not very often that happens!! We both could relate to the author for. different reasons. Me, working hard to GAH where you want to be when no one thinks you can do it/being a nurse like his wife and relating to a "residency" and being from the Chicago area where the author is from so I knew the places he was mentioning and now living and. working in Rochester, MN. Hubby could definitely relate to his construction days and reflecting that it is not what he was wanted to do foe the rest of his life/going back to school when you are one of the oldest students in the class.
review 2: I was particularly interested in this book because this man's journey to becoming a surgeon is so similar to my... more husband's-construction worker who realizes that he wanted to involve himself in something bigger, something more meaningful and fulfilling, and wanting to do good. I was hooked. I laughed. I cried. I was shocked. I gained a new appreciation for my husband and gained new insight. This book breathed new life into me as the wife of a medical student, because let's face it, the road is long and hard with very little breaks in between, not only for the student but for the wife and kids. I now face each day with a new excitement for what my husband gets to go do, and somehow now the third year seems a little less painful. less
