This book was a whole lot of fun to read. A cross between a medical thriller and a Mafia story, it kept me wide-eyed and amused throughout. The main character is an ex-hit man turned intern physician who is likable and easy to root for. The laughs are plentiful in this wild romp through a run New York City Hospital with burned out healers. this is a dark comedy lightened by sarcasm and wit. I give it high recommendations for a quick and lively vacation page turner.
