He seemed reflexively prone to discuss his own superiority at times; i.e. in relation to other doctors, getting into the top law and med schools, and vacillations between respecting and disparaging his physics background. The storytelling, however, was solid. I enjoyed hearing about the patients and how they left an impression upon him. As a coming-of-age story, Dr. Jauhar did a fine job describing how he evolved in his training. Aside from the abrupt ending with the platitudes of respecting the profession that he spent the other 270 pages railing against, and the self-indulgences, it was a fun read. You ought to read Dr. Michael Collins' Hot Lights, Cold Steel and Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs. It was an enjoyable read.
