Praise for this book
Dave Clarke has written a painfully evocative but delightful account of a medical student's journey from fresher through to qualification, and via house jobs to taking the Primary FRCS examination. Anyone who has travelled this way will identify strongly with the author's successes, failures and scrapes. An absolute pleasure!
