The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly: A Physician's First Year | Matt McCarthy

pick

I‘m a sucker for a good physician memoir, and this hit the spot of what I was in the mood for this afternoon! Matt didn‘t quite feel prepared for the realities of life as an intern on the first day of his internal medicine residency, but with curiosity, determination, and heart, he found his rhythm as a doctor. If you enjoyed This Is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay, give Matt‘s memoir a shot. š’‰š©ŗ

Non fiction. I very much enjoyed this book. A fantastic insight into an interns first year and what they go through. I really liked Matt's writing style - I felt invested in his patients successes.

Pretty interesting, well-written account of a year in the life of a medical intern. I enjoyed the specific focus on the patients Dr. McCarthy really connected with, and the touches of humor added by his interactions with other medical personnel. Baio is more like Bae-o, am I right? š¨

Slow at times, but often laughs-out-loud hilarious and insightful. McCarthy's vulnerability balances out his humor. Perfect for fans of Grey's Anatomy or those interested in medicine in general. 4/5

maximoffs I KNOW THIS IS SO WEIRD but would you maybe be willing to connect outside Litsy? Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/GoodReads however?! I just feel like we would be good friends (I know weird thing to say) and would love to connect with you! 8y

This title, to me, suggested humor. Although there were a few funny moments I wouldn't in any way consider this a comedy. Matt McCarthy describes his first year residency at Mass General in touching detail. This book is similar to many other doctors in training memoirs and I enjoy them all.

SaraFair Me too, have you read this one?

Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death and Sleepless Nights in a Surgeon's First Years

Dolly @SaraFair No! It sounds really good. It's a definite for my TBR. Thanks! 8y

so-so

Short, humorous stories. The reader doesn't need medical experience to understand this book. It could be for anyone trying something new and scary. I've been an icu nurse for 17 years. I think it would have been a better fit for me if I could relate as a newer nurse I am so far removed from those days, I can barely remember.

Good read. Author not afraid to let the reader know he's not flawless. And personally very self-affirming re: no desire to ever be a physician.

I don't have any desire to be a doctor, but if I did, I think vomit would be my downfall.
Anyone else have an opinion?

CherylDeFranceschi I'm with you on vomit! 8y

Megabooks Pus. I just hate abscesses. Especially cat or rabbit abscesses. 8y

Swivelgal Blood. You lost me at blood. Or maybe it was fluid. Yeah...probably fluid. And skin creeps me out. So does touching people. Do you that would be a problem? š‡ 8y

Viji I'm a nurse. Blood, pus and diarrhea don't bother me. Don't like the sound of people hacking up and spitting out sputum š 8y
