Doctor Brooklyn: Love & Life at the End of a Knife - Paperback

by Irv Danesh (Author)

Zach Maxwell wanted to train in surgery at the most prestigious hospitals in the country. His academic record prevented a golden future, placing him instead in a hospital in the most dangerous part of Brooklyn. Zach must learn not only how to be a great doctor, but how to deal with both the internal and external problems all young doctors in training face on a daily basis.

With a Greek chief resident, an outspoken surgical chief of service, stressed residents, nurses, patients, and friends who want to "fix him up," Zach must learn how to be the best doctor he can and retain his humanity at the same time.
