Matt McCarthy dreamed he would be the perfect doctor, able to reach patients no one had ever made contact with before. However, when a newly admitted patient nearly dies in the intensive care unit during his first tour of duty, he finds it won't be easy... Visions of mastery quickly give way to desires to simply survive in a hospital where confidence is hard to come by, and no amount of knowledge from college can diminish the terror of having to help real patients. By a happy coincidence, McCarthy found himself in the care of a brilliant Baio resident. He proved to be an excellent teacher of hospital life, gifted with a wry sense of humour. McCarthy learned even more from the people in his care, including a patient who had spent months in hospital awaiting a heart transplant. But no teacher could help the young doctor when an accident put his own health at risk, cruelly pointing out to him just how thin the line is between doctor and patient. McCarthy's memoirs are funny and honest, devoid of pathos and conceit, yet aptly describe the paradox of the process of becoming a doctor: How do you save lives if you have no practice at it?
