Opis

The entries recorded in the seven-volume "Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) Journal" cover a twenty-year period, beginning in January, 1980. They reflect the musings of Interns, Junior Assistant Residents, and Senior Assistant Residents in the Internal Medicine Residency Training Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital. To preserve the anonymity of both the patients and the physicians who have passed through the MICU, each date has been modified: sometimes by a few months, sometimes by several years. In addition, the diseases afflicting certain patients and on occasion even the gender of a patient or doctor has been changed to maintain the confidentiality and recognizability of a person or situation. In all other ways, the content of the entries is unaltered from how it appeared in the actual journal.
