Medical school is torture disguised as a learning experience. And one young medical student has had as much learning as he can take. He's made it to the third year, the one known to break all but the strongest-willed students. Dealing with jaded senior physicians, horrifying procedures, belligerent patients, and grueling twenty-four hour shifts, all while covered in blood and vomit, is enough to make anyone lose their mind.And this student doesn't have the fortitude to withstand the onslaught. He's not the brightest or most determined member of his class. He's as ordinary as they come. When the stress becomes unbearable, he turns to alcohol for relief. But his drinking makes an impossible situation that much harder.Pretending to be sober while treating patients is no easy task. Brutal schooling, an unsympathetic family, and a cheating girlfriend, mixed with alcohol, create a perfect storm of insanity. It's enough to land him in a psychiatric ward. And once he's there, how will he ever finish his journey toward becoming a doctor?Told with dark humor, Whiskey on the Wards is an unflinching examination of the realities and absurdities of the medical field. And it begs the question: why would anyone choose to work in this profession? They'd have to be a little crazy.
