You What?!: Humorous Stories, Cautionary Tales, and Unexpected Insights About A Career in Medicine

Great read with wonderful anecdotes and life lessons! His attitude toward patients and coworkers is a model for young people going into any field, not just medicine. I’ve already recommended it to friends.

Funny and entertaining, a bit chopped up in the story telling. Jumps around a lot from attention stories!

Bought this book for my mom. She said it was hilarious and recommends it

It was easy reading but not what I expected- more about his life - not really giving many examples of interactions/anecdotes. Didnt find much humor

This was a mildly entertaining book. Having gone through medical school and two residency programs, none of these stories were particularly humorous to me. These were more like every day life for a physician. Perhaps the really funny stories could not be told to the general public. That, I understand. And, I am not a writer. Kudos on your book, John. At least you wrote yours.

It’s a numerous book, and being in healthcare, I can identify with many of the stories. I also have had both of my knees replaced in the last year so I identify with his orthopedic jokes.

If you are in the medical field you will have experienced most of these situations. Very humorous but he handles the situations in a humane fashion.

Basic knowledge that anyone of average intelligence already knows. Not that much humor. That description was misleading.

Sehr unterhaltsame, in gut verständlichem Englisch verfasste, kurze Geschichten und Erinnerungen eines (US-) amerikanischen Orthopäden an seine Karriere.Es ist erstaunlich, an welchen Stellen der Alltag eines Arztes in den USA sehr ähnlich wie in Deutschland verläuft, insbesondere bei der Beschreibung der unterschiedlichen Patienten muss man häufig schmunzeln. Der Autor hat sie treffend charakterisiert.Für deutsche Kollegen, die (wie ich) keine Erfahrungen mit dem amerikanischen Gesundheitswesen haben, ist es nebenbei auch ein spannender Einblick in eine andere Welt der Medizin jenseits von omnipräsenter DRG, Budget und KV.Volle Kauf-Empfehlung!

An excellent and entertaining read. While specifically referring to orthopedic surgery this book also brings out life lessons for all. Dr. Chase illustrates that to be a good doctor (or any other career) you need to begin by being a good person.The book is filled with appropriate, tongue in cheek anecdotes and graphic illustrations to show that a career which is worth having comes from a life well lived.
