Writing with all the passion of 'Love Story' and power of 'The Class,' Erich Segal sweeps us into the lives of the Harvard Medical School's class of 1962. His stunning novel reveals the making of doctors--what makes them tick, scheme, hurt . . . and love. From the crucible of med school's merciless training through the demanding hours of internship and residency to the tri...more

I read the hardcover version of this book, which was 679 pages. I started it on a Tuesday evening around 7 p.m. and finished it at 1:00 p.m. the next day. If that doesn't say a lot about the quality of the book, I don't know what does!

We can never imagine what kind of life lies ahead of us and this book made me realize that we can never say 'never', 'I will' or 'I can' not until we are right at that very moment wherein we need to make a decision(rational or not). Yes, we can determine what we want to be in the future but we can never foresee the things and changes that we are to encounter. We can do nothing but to choose, and even by just making 1 wrong choice will change something sometime everything and the future will be f...more

A very well written book, i think one of the rare books that i read in one go. It gives a good description about the daily lives of doctors and their profession. Based on the life of Barney Livingston and Laura Castellano (best of friends). The book is mainly based on their journey through school, medical college and their respective fields. The ups and downs, the rise and fall, the realisations they have. It takes many years for them to realise that what they have is more than friendship. They...more

Love every sentence in it. An extremely well-written story which, as a medical student, I could completely relate - with the characters, the trials and tribulations one face through med school life and the weird and nice ones we get as classmates. It also talks about the dog-eat-dog world out there waiting as soon as one shall begin practicing.

Gives a good peek into what happens in a medical school and how much labour is required to be a doctor. It is also a very emotional and romantic story. I liked it immensely. Hope u will too.
I picked this book up at a second hand sale. Despite having read it about five years ago and not having been too impressed, I decided to give it another go.
The reasons for my reluctance remained: namely the cliche nature of Erich Segal's characters. I have also read 'The Class' and there are similarities as to how he develops his characters in both these books: the gorgeous lead female with brains, the class nerd, the handsome jock, the overachievers, the boy next door, the eventual romance tha...more

I am a big fan of Eric Segal. His books have always been touching and had great influence in my life. He has always been one of my favorite authors. One thing we need to understand that doctors are also human beings and bear the pressures of life and long duty hours which makes their jobs more challenging but seeing the passion for their profession is really remarkable. Every day they live a new life whenever they save the wounded, frustrated and disheveled patients. How may emotions they pass t...more
When I first read this book I was quite touched with the passion with which Doctors treat their patients..The story revolves around a group of Harvard med school students who have to go through the rigrous training of becoming a doctor.. Some faint during the anatomy classes while a dead body is being disected to study the various human parts.. This reminds me of the incidence when one of my classmates fainted during my 12th science grade biology lab session ..The teacher was disecting a rat and...more

Reading books set in medical schools always intrigue me and doctors is all about HMS life AND it is written by Erich Segal so that means....I TOTALLY LOVED THE BOOK.
But despite my prejudices,It gives an almost realistic view of a doctor's life.

I love this epic novel. True, while it's not set in some vast fantastic middle earth or even in the romantic South of the 1864 civil war, it spans decades and thoroughly depicts the lives of men and women in the medical field and reveals every dark aspect about it.
I think it's quite accurate overall when it comes to portrayal of the characters' lives: through admission interviews, where you must find a way to thoroughly impress your interviewer, sometime spending a horrible amount of time or mon...more

I love Erich Segal and thereby this review is probably (read: definitely) biased.
Doctors is one of those books that you not just read over a period, but you crawl into and live in between the pages.
Like all of Segal's books, this one revolves around Harvard - It's medical school to be precise - and the class of '62. This tells the story of the kind, hopeful kids that came in and the brilliant but neurotic doctors that walked o...more

The absolutely final update:
There's a great deal I could say about the politics of this book, most of it grim, so I'll skip a treatise on the profound value of human life.
I saw a quote recently, that 'messages are for postcards,' but Segal apparently never got that memo. Emotionally and apparently medically shallow, every character in the book has a different trivial agenda, while being given essentially the same voice.

С тази книга в ръце човек попада в света на няколко студенти по медицина, изживява заедно с тях цялото им следване, изборът им на направление в медицината и ранните стъпки в кариерата им. Проследяват се не само професионалните им търсения, но и напълно човешките им съдби. Героите са добре развити от автора.
И общо взето дотук са хубавите неща, които мога да кажа за книгата.

Novels, like 'Doctors', make me enjoy reading this type of book. Not only is this well written, but it also gave me an insight into the world of the Doctor, and the training they must endure to become qualified.

This was absolutely riveting, beginning to end. Shockingly read and transformed like a real, massive epic.
I mean, truly, the genuine, painstakingly crafted character development of these four doctors. From their childhood years to the formative years of medicine.
You feel their anger at the injustices and negligence and lack of empathy of their colleagues, their sheer fulfillment of their art and science, the depression and dissatisfaction with living and failing, their fears, etc.

In alot of ways this is my favorite books by Segal. My only complaint about it is that the multiple charecters aren't balanced, (where as in Prizes they were more balanced out.) It concerns 4 people directly, Barney,(who is the lead/catalyst for the story.)Laura,Bennet and Seth.
Seth's charecter is the one left out in the cold, so to speak, but also one who has the most to lose: his integrety.
