Rachel and I went to a reading from "On Call: A Doctor's Days and Nights in Residency" by Emily Transue last night. Emily is a friend of ours and was my wife Rachel's chief resident when she started residency. I haven't had a chance to read the book yet (we picked up a copy last night) but, from the excerpts that Emily read aloud, it sounds great. If you don't know someone who's been through residency (or even if you do!) this book will give you an understanding of the ups and downs -- both emotionally and physically -- that a doctor goes through during residency. I saw it up close and personal while Rachel was going through it.
Trivia: That picture on the cover isn't her. But the coat is hers. She had to send it to New York for a couple of weeks to be photographed. She does have a picture on the inside of the sleeve.
