Do you know what your doctor really thinks or how your doctor really feels about medicine and about you? The seeds lie in the critical first few years of a medical education, and Dr. Robert Marion, director of the Center for Congenital Disorders at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, draws from his own experiences as student, intern, and resident to provide some surprising -- and sobering -- answers.

In the course of twenty gripping, illuminating, and extraordinarily candid stories, Dr. Marion reveals the dehumanizing, slightly insane, and often brutal process of medical training. You will experience not only the intense pressure and chronic exhaustion of the doctor-to-be, but also the price the patient must often pay. While each story stands alone as an adventure in medicine, taken together they are a call to change. With profound eloquence and compassion, Dr. Marion explores ways in which to assure that humanity and idealism survive the grueling and destructive path to technical competency.

Smaller than expected
Size: Football, Size: Football
My dog likes it; but I thought it was going to be bigger than it is. It is the blue ball pictured on the right compared to a normal size soccer ball on the left.

My dog’s favorite toy and mine!
Size: Basketball
My Min Pin loves this ball! It’s durable, chewable and (my favorite) toss able in the house! Since it’s soft, it doesn’t make noise when it bounces across the floor or hits a wall or the door. Best indoor throw toy ever!

Puppy loves it! We have had hours of fun with it.
Size: Billiards
My puppy loves it! It’s soft, squishy and squeaks. I would have given 5 stars but some threads on the 8 started to come out (not completely) after a few days, but it still seems well made and we have had had many hours of fun with it.
