Doctor, doctor, you’re in trouble, according to Making Doctors, which
entertainingly analyses the way doctors are trained. Simon Sinclair followed
would-be doctors through a teaching hospital. He gives nice examples of how
students are exposed to unsubtle irony. “Oh yes, we do all our dissection on
live volunteers,” one lecturer said. Crucial to becoming a doctor is acquiring
the medical jargon. Sinclair is surprised by how little medical education has
changed since the 19th century. Published by Berg, £14.99, ISBN
