Book Title: Doctors Are So Busy!: Beyond Consultations, Ward Rounds, and Surgeries—A Humorous and True Life in Medicine

Synopsis:

Following the smash-hit success of What on Earth Does a Medical School Student Do?,

Dr. Gary's latest masterpiece is here!

Once again putting pen to paper, he stayed up late to write these hospital stories,

all just to let you know: doctors are human beings too!

An obstetrician-gynecologist awakened in the middle of the night,

successfully delivers a baby and perfectly sutures the wound in a sleepy haze.

Right after that incredibly cool moment, he turns to his fellow doctor colleague standing by and says:

"Congratulations, Papa!"

A patient who completely cuts out sugar for the sake of health,

drank a cup of sugary instant coffee because of hypoglycemia.

To everyone's surprise, they stayed awake all night, leaving the doctor running ragged...

The patient said with a smile: "I'm just a health-kick rookie!"

This is not a plot from a comedy movie; this is a doctor's real life.

Wild questions from patients,

and all kinds of emergencies requiring split-second reactions—

this is a doctor's daily routine.

Book Features:

After graduating from medical school and officially entering the hospital as a doctor, Gary retains his humorous nature, using a unique perspective to write about everything in the hospital. It is time for all of us to drop our idealized expectations of the medical profession and realize that being a doctor is a job, and the hospital is a grueling workplace for them!

As a junior doctor in a large hospital, besides handling consultations and ward rounds just like senior doctors, you also have to take on everything the seniors don't do. Just like you and me, they need to write reports and face evaluations and accreditations—and they turn their nights into days and work overtime much more than you do! This book will make you cherish every single doctor more!
