2.0

Written in a novel style, this work feels a lot like a medical memoir. The story follows an unnamed narrator from her white coat ceremony through medical school and some clinical work. There are a lot of graphic events in the book, so trigger warnings may be important for some sensitive readers. Though I found some of the information interesting, the organization of the novel was a problem. The narrative is very jerky and jumps around without meaningful transitions. There isn't a cohesive flow and I was frequently confused by what turned out to be a transition to a new topic or pulled out the book by incoherency. Overall, the writing does have good qualities with an excellent ability to describe the medical context, but the organization of the information requires a heavy edit.
