The House of God

Author Samuel Shem

Publisher Black Swan

$30.00

The House of God is a wild and raunchily irreverent novel that teaches you the not-so-gentle arts of healing and tells you what your doctor never wanted you to know. It is the best medicine since MAS*H, and does for the doctor’s art what Catch-22 did for the art of war.

As in all hospitals, the medical hierarchy of The House of God was a pyramid – with a lot at the bottom and one at the top. Put another way, it was like an ice-cream cone… you had to lick your way up!

Roy Basch, the ‘red-hot’ Rhodes Scholar, thought differently – but then he hadn’t met Hyper Hooper, out to win the most post-mortems of the year award, nor Molly, the nurse with the crash helmet. He hadn’t even met any of the Gomers (‘Get Out of My Emergency Room!’), the no-hopers who wanted to die but who were worth more alive!
