The Annals of Bone Girl, Volume Five covers the year of transition from medical school into residency; a period known as internship. While you might have the title of doctor attached to your name there is no doubt that the intern is the lowest of the low in the hospital hierarchy. The question is, how can one go about becoming a doctor when you can hardly remember your own name, much less those letters following it, at the end of a long call night?
Notorious for its physical, mental, and emotional rigors internship has a reputation for imparting unfailing misery onto its new doctors. And the medical establishment would not have it any other way. It's survival of the fittest in white coats and scrubs. The weapons of choice are quickly pointed fingers, sharp verbal barbs, and knives destined for an unsuspecting back. But not to worry, we can always stitch each other up at the the end of it all. . .
Never shy, always honest, The Annals of Bone Girl series is a candid account of what goes into the making of a physician under the tutelage of a flawed and struggling medical education system.
