Excellent, really enjoyed it, his best yet!

I’ve read this author’s previous two ‘doc memoirs’ and really enjoyed them, so couldn’t wait to get cracking on this. Book 3 concerns his final year of residency training.

This contains so many adventures and diverse cases as he goes through the various rotations: Obstetrics, Urology, Emergency Room, Outpatient Paediatrics, Newborn Nursery, Cardiology, and Ear, Nose and Throat.

Often tongue in cheek, humorous, but not always; there’s also some serious stuff in here e.g. the ER chapter; some dramas in there, and he rightly doesn't make light when lives are in the balance.

Lots of different cases and scenarios to other doctor memoirs I've read. It was fresh, fun, informative; yet never insensitive, not silly, no uncomfortable bits.

Is this his best book? Does it deserve 5 stars this time? Yes, definitely.

Really enjoyed the first two parts of this author's journey and was delighted to get a copy of this to read and review. It was as good as the first two parts of not better

Another good and solid instalment of DR John! Nice and simple with good themed chapters! Good links back to the first one which job your memory!

Who would choose a doctor who has a life long history of falling off his bike and sustaining head injuries? Who would embrace a doc who spent his years of medical training secretly wishing he was in the film industry? Well, I would!

In John Lawrence’s entertaining memoir “Playing Doctor; Part Three: Chief Resident (Tumbling Towards Medical Practice) the reader becomes the fly on the wall observing Lawrence’s final years of training in medical school. We get a glimpse into Urology, Neurology, ER training, Obstetrics, Allergy, Pediatrics, Cardiology, ENT, among other specialties’ that our budding doctor (and his patients) must endure. Everything is funny and harrowing at the same time.

This is the third segment of John’s episodic trek through medical school and earning his M.D. at the University of Utah. Great job, John. Ok, John. Let’s play doctor – for real.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the 3rd book in the series by John Lawrence. I e enjoyed all 3 as he has a great sense of humor and does t hold back with his honesty about his struggles. Some of the stories were really funny, some sad. But most of the book is humorous.
If you like medical memoirs, I recommend this series.

Thank you #Netgalley for this advanced copy!

I have read the first two of the series playing doctor and loved it! Was happy to get an early copy of this latest and possible last section of this series. We of course follow John during his final years of schooling, many stories around his realm of being chief resident. In part three we also learn more about John's personal life, his interest in acting and film making as well as his participation in athletic events. I appreciated the flashbacks throughout that reflect back to previous situations he described in the other books and how they relate to his experiences now. I do hope that John continues to write more books in addition to films. I would love to hear about his progression after school and how he ties his medical background into his interest of entertainment.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from BooksGoSocial and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

A raw, thoughtful look at a fast-paced look at the world of the world of medicine.
