House Of God

One of the attendings at the kings county internal medicine rotation made a couple references to the book "House Of God". A fiction based on the author's experiences as a pgy1 and patterned after Catch-22/MASH.

I didn't read it until after the rotation. I wish I had read it before. That attending used many of the phrases from the book and seems to have modeled his rounds on one of the heroes.

Those who will do IM at KCHC should also read Paauw as recommended by the manual. But personality issues is a major factor of this rotation and "House Of God" will give you a big clue about one of the big characters at kings county.
