Confessions of a Medical Student
Author: Ronald Ruskin
Publisher: Aeon Books
ISBN: 1912573520
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 437
Book Description
Confessions of a Medical Student charts 20-year-old Ben Adler's tragic-comic journey from home to med-school and the world beyond. Callow and impressionable, Ben leaves his over-anxious Russian-Jewish parents in their Toronto drugstore, and Angie, his girlfriend whom he plans to marry against his parents' wishes. In anatomy, Ben dissects his cadaver, 'Clive', with lab-mates. As the first blush of med-school fades, Ben learns of his father's life-threatening illness. Cash-poor, Ben enlists in the Navy to earn room and board, joins Lenny's Underground Railroad for draft-dodgers, jeopardizing studies and provoking his ill father's scorn. The novel chronicles the tumultuous years 1966-1971 through the eyes of a naive, sentimental student striving to move beyond family, self, and place. Ben careens from mistake to mistake over four years, yet at the novel's end he emerges with self-knowledge and a touch of worldly pain and wisdom.

Nothing was as it seemed at first in this contemporary, heartwarming tale of a young woman who had come to a point in her life where everything was going downhill. Having to deal with an injured, petulant younger sister, a morose, grieving mother, and a recent breakup, Georgie Greene had only one choice left: to cope as best she could in her own way. She had thought the trip to her grandparent's ranch up north, supposedly for the benefit of her sister, would be nothing more than revisiting painful old memories. Little did she know that she would come to learn of a heart-wrenching secret her grandparents had thus far kept from the family. Apart from that was her family's mysterious involvement with the gorgeous-looking, impertinent ranger whose face she could not get out of her head. Just when things were starting to look up, she was tossed into a whirlpool of disconcerting circumstances which threatened to send her spirits plummeting once more. Would she get her life back on track, and perhaps, even kindle a little romance anew? She knew the man she wanted, but did he want her, now that he was holding the other woman's hand sparkling with a diamond ring?
