So, since I have been done with clinicals at the end of Feb, I have just been sitting around the house playing video games and watching tv.

All of a sudden, I have this massive urge to read in prep for starting my IM residency.

So I was wondering, if anyone in IM residency out there have any suggestions for me to read before I start in July?

Thanks

Skipper

No, I cannot help you get a residency.

If you fail at AUC, SGU, or Ross why not transfer to SMU, if you fail at SMU, why not try another SMU.

Withdrawals eh?

Ahhh...fear is good, keeps you on your toes and out of trouble. Just hit Cecil or Harrison from page 1, that'll keep you occupied for a while

I just read, "The House of God", by Samuel Shem. It was actually quite a fun read.

Amazing author...I'd recommend Complications (his other book), to go along with it

You people are missing the point...the Skipper wants to read something to make him stand out in his residency and be loved by attendings
