About this book

Book Summary

Newly minted doctor Jane McGill is in hell.Not literally, of course.

But between her drug addict patients, sleepless nights on call, and battling wits with the sadistic yet charming Sexy Surgeon, Jane can't imagine an afterlife much worse than her first month of medical internship at County Hospital. And then there's the devil herself: Jane's senior resident Dr. Alyssa Morgan. When Alyssa becomes absolutely hell-bent on making her new interns pay tenfold for the deadly sin of incompetence, Jane starts to worry that she may not make it through the year with her soul or her sanity still intact.

"McFadden does a good job of showing how one can maintain her humanity in a system designed to squeeze it out of us." ―ACP Internist

"This was a superbly entertaining book, and an exceptionally quick read for me.... The story captured my fancy and my imagination and had me howling out loud more than once."―Laurie's Thoughts and Reviews
