Summary

Playing Doctor: Part Two: Residency is a medical memoir full of laugh-out-loud tales， born from chaotic， disjointed， and frightening nights on hospital wards during John Lawrence’s medical training and time as a junior doctor。 This candid autobiography will demystify medical education and inspire you。 Equal parts heartfelt， self-deprecating humor， and irreverent storytelling， John takes us along for the ride as he tracks his transformation from uncertain， head injured， liberal-arts student to intern， resident and then medical doctor。

This is book number 2 of what appears to be at least a trilogy of the authors time going through medical school and residency。 The first 70% of this book covers the author's first year in residency or may commonly known as an intern and covers usually what amounts a month at a time in various medical fields to give him a well round education to practice family medicine。 This will cover various patients that he encountered and task or experiences that place in the medical field。 Some of these sto This is book number 2 of what appears to be at least a trilogy of the authors time going through medical school and residency。 The first 70% of this book covers the author's first year in residency or may commonly known as an intern and covers usually what amounts a month at a time in various medical fields to give him a well round education to practice family medicine。 This will cover various patients that he encountered and task or experiences that place in the medical field。 Some of these stories are on the sad side but overall this is a good read and I definitely will be back for book number 3 along with wanting to find out if he continues to be a bad bike rider， how he continues to deal with the overwhelming hours and fatigue。 Just a not you do not have to read the first book to read this one but in my opinion you get a better overall view of the author's story。 。。。more

John Lawrence continues documenting his journey to becoming a doctor in Residency: Blundering along with imposter syndrome After his first part （which I also read） discussed his time in medical school， this tracks his first two of three years that he needs to complete his family practice residency。 The bulk is about his first year- the internship， where baby doctors are thrown to the wolves and have a very steep learning curve。 Even though his residency is considered less intense than many， it i John Lawrence continues documenting his journey to becoming a doctor in Residency: Blundering along with imposter syndrome After his first part （which I also read） discussed his time in medical school， this tracks his first two of three years that he needs to complete his family practice residency。 The bulk is about his first year- the internship， where baby doctors are thrown to the wolves and have a very steep learning curve。 Even though his residency is considered less intense than many， it is still a struggle （the lack of money， sleep， time， etc）。 He discusses his time across many rotations such a high risk obstetrics， rural health， surgery， pediatrics， and radiology among others。 One gets a good idea of what is required to get through residency。 What strikes me about his particular experiences is he does not seem to really want to be a doctor。 He comes from a liberal arts background before going to medical school and has a passion to write and act。 He states multiple times throughout this book he planned to just finish his internship and then drop out。 It just does not make sense to me， and also appears to engage in some pretty hazardous activities （which is a common thread across both books）。 It is still informational to read， but I cannot quite figure out what his passion is， as when he talks about his patients and healthcare， he does not seem to be all that happy and caring。 Part 3 about being the chief resident will be the next volume。Thank you to NetGalley for this advance reader copy in exchange for honest review。 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review。I enjoyed Medical School， which was part one so I was excited to continue with part two。 The author's sense of humor and self deprecating humor make this a fun book to read。 He really tells the Residency experience well， as he did in Medical School。 It's amazing what these doctors in training have to go through and a wonder that so many people accomplish the whole process without giving up entirely。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review。I enjoyed Medical School， which was part one so I was excited to continue with part two。 The author's sense of humor and self deprecating humor make this a fun book to read。 He really tells the Residency experience well， as he did in Medical School。 It's amazing what these doctors in training have to go through and a wonder that so many people accomplish the whole process without giving up entirely。I'm looking forward to Part Three！ 。。。more

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy！I had read Playing Doctor Part 1 and was excited to get an early copy of part 2。 I love John's perspective and his honesty as he describes his experiences during residency。 It is so interesting to learn about the different rotations， especially the hours and how they are treated。 I don't know how these doctors survive on so little sleep！ I love that John shares the highs and lows and how he got by during the difficult months。 The variety of what they le Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy！I had read Playing Doctor Part 1 and was excited to get an early copy of part 2。 I love John's perspective and his honesty as he describes his experiences during residency。 It is so interesting to learn about the different rotations， especially the hours and how they are treated。 I don't know how these doctors survive on so little sleep！ I love that John shares the highs and lows and how he got by during the difficult months。 The variety of what they learn seems so overwhelming。 I appreciate that he puts in the personal stories， from the difficult OB cases to the comatose patients in the ICU。 Family practice touches so many patient populations。 Can't wait for the next installment！ 。。。more

Another very good read-looking forward to the next in the series。I've read the author's first book in the series。 Starting this and glancing through the chapter titles， it looked like a great read， with plenty of variety-he's going to be working in lots of different medical specialties eg Obstetrics， Opthalmology， Family Practice， General Surgery， Radiology， Rural Medicine etc。This follows on from Book 1， where he's just graduated from medical school。 Now he's qualified， he needs to get the expe Another very good read-looking forward to the next in the series。I've read the author's first book in the series。 Starting this and glancing through the chapter titles， it looked like a great read， with plenty of variety-he's going to be working in lots of different medical specialties eg Obstetrics， Opthalmology， Family Practice， General Surgery， Radiology， Rural Medicine etc。This follows on from Book 1， where he's just graduated from medical school。 Now he's qualified， he needs to get the experiences as a doctor， through residency。 This book covers that; residency in a variety of medical fields。This was a very good， easy read， and I finished it in just a couple of days。 Witty， poking a bit of fun at himself， a nice style。 Good comedy- without being overdone or rude。 Glad to see there are more books to come， and I will be reading them。 。。。more
