Along with lots of fascinating medical detail, the book takes a searingly honest look at the physical and psychological cost to the intern. These include: the near-indescribable exhaustion, the expectation of carrying out complicated and risky procedures the intern does not have the experience for, the life-or-death decisions to be made daily, dealing with anxious, angry and distraught relatives and, worst of all, the gradual ebbing of empathy eg Dr Peters starts thinking of each patient by their disease rather than their name.What really disturbed me was the fact that this was written in 1972 and so little has really changed. This should be compulsory reading for anyone thinking of entering the medical or nursing professions. If it doesn't put you off, you've found your calling! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't judge a book by its main character *by M***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2007* At first, the temptation is to read this book as an autobiography of Robin Cook. Don't give in to it, or you might be further tempted, as I was, to swear off reading anything else by the author. The experiences of the main character are fascinating, and that almost allows you to overlook his increasingly unavoidable character flaws. Mercifully, Dr. Peters isn't Dr. Cook. He's an avenue by which Cook diagnoses the symptoms of a disease doctors catch from internship. It is damning of the medical field that this book is so relevant in the 21st century.In the end, the book is brave, subtle, and excellently crafted. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still Current in the way Doctors pass on their hard times to other Doctors *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2013* This is Robin Cook's first book and is a bit different than his books that he did afterwards. I found that it was a brave book for him to have written in the medical field as there is that "code of Doctors" and letting us in to see what the life of an Intern is like before the next step is inlightening as well as informative. Even though there are a few changes since this book was written, it is sad to say that the Interns still do so much without lack of proper sleep and it is like the ones that went through becoming a Doctor want the next group to have to do the same thing without thinking of the safety of the patient. If you can get a hold of this book it is worth reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3605843-the-year-of-the-intern-a-medical-thriller](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3605843-the-year-of-the-intern-a-medical-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
