Content

As in all hospitals, the medical hierarchy of The House of God was a pyramid - 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!

Reviews

"Great glittering floods of talent rage through this extraordinary novel" Cosmopolitan "A wildly funny, sad, laugh-out-loud, frightening, outrageous, thought-provoking, moving book" Houston Chronicle "Raw, realistic, ribald and randy" -- Richard Gordon, author of Doctor in the House "Catch-22 with stethoscopes" Cosmopolitan
