House Of God

"The House of God" er Samuel Shems satiriske roman om livet for nyuddannede læger på hospitalet The House of God. Hospitalet har et medicinsk hieraki, der er formet som en pyramide. En masse i bunden og én i toppen.

"The House of God" er en humoristisk kultklassiker om amerikanske lægers internship, der ved sin første udgivelse chokerede en række amerikanske hospitaler, men vækkede genkendelse hos flere læger.

By turns heartbreaking, hilarious, and utterly human, The House of God is a mesmerizing and provocative novel about what it really takes to become a doctor. "The raunchy, troubling, and hilarious novel that turned into a cult phenomenon. Singularly compelling...brutally honest."-- The New York Times Struggling with grueling hours and sudden life-and-death responsibilities, Basch and his colleagues, under the leadership of their rule-breaking senior resident known only as the Fat Man, must learn not only how to be fine doctors but, eventually, good human beings. A phenomenon ever since it was published, The House of God was the first unvarnished, unglorified, and uncensored portrait of what training to become a doctor is truly like, in all its terror, exhaustion and black comedy. With more than two million copies sold worldwide, it has been hailed as one of the most important medical novels ever written. With an introduction by John Updike
