Pickpick

After reading Intern, Transue‘s On Call was refreshing. Typically I measure books against my own expectations rather than against others in the genre, but reading these two within days of each other I cannot help but make comparisons. Transue delivers with the graciousness and tact that so egregiously eluded Jauhar. It is a patient-centric account & it is immediately clear to the reader the white coat most certainly suits her.

Intern will leave you with a sense of dread-not fear of entering medical school-rather fear of being a patient. I commend Jauhar for his honesty & did enjoy the inclusion of familial context, & his candor in admitting his weaknesses. While it's fairly well written, the voice is whiney, entitled, & chauvinistic. The book would have been just as swell w/o the recurring descriptions of “beautiful brunettes” “good looking blonds” and “nice breasts.”
