Offering broader scope commentary on the medical system from their years of experience, Peterkin and Puddester are engaging and effective in presenting all aspects of resident life.""--Dorothy Yu, Staff Psychiatrist, University of Calgary ""Chock-full of all kinds of information that is pertinent, if not essential, to residents, including innumerable survival tips and suggestions. Peterkin and Puddester offer a penetrating and far-ranging, yet humane, perspective and have not lost sight of the 'person within, ' in contrast to attitudes common in academic medical centres of today.
