You What?!

Humorous Stories, Cautionary Tales, and Unexpected Insights About a Career in Medicine

By: Dr. John Chase

Narrated by: Bronson Pinchot

The end of residency isn’t the utopia you might have imagined.

You know what to do with the medical stuff, but what about navigating private practice, unfamiliar hospitals, and—patients!

In this collection of absurd moments, practical advice, and humorous tales from the medical trenches, Dr. John Chase shares stories from his forty years as an orthopedic surgeon and offers insight into how to be successful, have fun, and take care of patients without missing out on what really matters in life.

This is the perfect, entertaining, and quick book for medical students, those in the medical field, and people who want an insight into the humorous side of how doctors think.

Great advice for those considering going into a surgical medical specialty

I appreciate the inside view of orthopedic surgery and how challenging and simultaneously rewarding it can be. Lots of the advice provided is valid for all medical and surgical specialties. As a physician myself (medical, not surgical), I appreciated the humor and the truth of a lot of what Dr Chase described. I recommend this book for anyone considering a surgical medical career.

A wonderful book

This is a collection of purified, concise learnings from a career of an orthopedic surgeon illustrated by entertaining examples. Highly recommended to anyone who is considering a career in medicine.

Bringing back wonderful memories

Having just retired as an OR nurse for 50 years; Dr Chase made me feel I was back in the surgical world.
loved the book!

Love this book

So funny and heartwarming. It should be a mandatory read for all medical students. Wish the author had been one of my doctors.

Truth!

Real life as a doctor and those who work with them. Be kind and treat everyone well.
