Laughter at the End of the Tunnel. Notes of a Ukrainian Anesthesiologist (hardcover). Ivan Chernenko

Sex, drugs, rock and roll? The student days of future doctors are a little different. Anatomy, inorganic chemistry, sleep breaks. And no, it won't get any easier. Hospitals and patients will be waiting for them. And then there will be colleagues who are unable to read the banal instructions for the device, relatives for whom resuscitation seems almost murder, and bureaucracy, a lot of bureaucracy. But there will also be those who are ready to lend a shoulder on duty, those who will share new experiences in time, as well as those who will notice the doctor and his efforts.
Ivan Chernenko's book is a book about medicine and the everyday lives of doctors, about the path that every dreamer overcomes to become a doctor. About mistakes, chaos and patients. About life and death, about each of us.
In the end, this is just the story of a doctor with a God-forsaken district hospital somewhere in Macondo.
