Intern is Dr. Sandeep Jauhar's story of his days and nights in residency at a busy hospital in New York City, a trial that led him to question his every assumption about medical care today. Residency—and especially its first year, the internship—is legendary for its brutality, and Jauhar's experience was even more harrowing than most. He switched from physics to medicine in order to follow a more humane calling—only to find that his new profession often had little regard for patients' concerns. He struggled to find a place among squadrons of cocky residents and doctors. He challenged the practices of the internship in The New York Times, attracting the suspicions of the medical bureaucracy. Then, suddenly stricken, he became a patient himself—and came to see that today's high-tech, high-pressure medicine can be a humane science after all. Jauhar's beautifully written memoir explains the inner workings of modern medicine with rare candor and insight.

Intern: A Doctor's Initiation
"Intern: A Doctor's Initiation" is at times shouting in your face with brutal "hot pink" honesty bringing back memories of me and my brother accidentally seeing a cadaver at Rio Hondo Hospital. This memory was similar to what made Dr. Jauhar vomit in-between patients. "Cookbook medicine" is the generic term he applies to the medical practice and not something he wishes to emulate. "Creare fabulis" and drones mimic.
"One thing I never thought seriously about was becoming a doctor. In fact, for most of my life, medicine was the last thing I wanted to do...Welcome, Doctor. Will you have a drink?"
---Sandeep Jauhar, MD
Given the suffering, we can deduce this doctor needs to be under a doctor's care. During his internship Sandeep wobbles between being a depressed ascetic and an agnostic living in a hyperhidrotic world burdened with self-guilt. "When you didn't know what you were doing...anything could happen." Especially in the case of a patient pulling out a urinary catheter and then having to tap another patient's artery---for the first time.
Masochistic tread of bloody septic bare feet on sharp rusty nails is my description of this journey. Dr. Jauhar makes his rounds and finds the clandestine "schatz" in the wards. Going from physicist (having finished his doctoral dissertation on quantum dots) to physician and then on to writing for the prestigious New York Times. Absolute medicinal morphine in "Intern: A Doctor's Initiation!" Brace yourself, buy and read.
