1. Doctor In The House
A comic, semi-autobiographical account of a young medical student's initiation into hospital life, following his blunders, pranks and romantic mishaps as he and his classmates fumble through exams, ward rounds and surgical teaching; the book satirizes the routines, rivalries and eccentric characters of mid-20th-century British medical training with affectionate humor and farcical episodes.
