Doctors

Writing with all the passion of Love Story and power of The Class , Erich Segal sweeps us into the lives of the Harvard Medical School’s class of 1962.��His stunning novel reveals the making of doctors--what makes them tick, scheme, hurt . . . and love.��From the crucible of med school’s merciless training through the demanding hours of internship and residency to the triumphs--and sometimes tragedies--beyond, Doctors brings to vivid life the men and women who seek to heal but who must first walk through fire.��At the novel’s heart is the unforgettable relationship of Barney Livingston and Laura Castellano, childhood friends who separately find unsettling celebrity and unsatisfying love--until their friendship ripens into passion.��Yet even their devotion to each other, even their medical gifts may not be enough to save the one life they treasure above all others. Doctors --heartbreaking, witty, inspiring, and utterly, grippingly real--is a vibrant portrait [...]that culminates in a murder, a trial . . . and a miracle.
