“I was eager to fight: I was eager to cut and sew not under the close supervision of the teaching staff of the Department of Surgical Diseases, but myself! It was possible to stay in the city, but youthful maximalism prevailed over common sense, and I went to work in the periphery. “You are already the eighth surgeon in the last three years,” the head of the surgical department told me. “How?” - I was amazed. — Eight surgeons in three years?

As it turned out, it was in vain...” Dmitry Pravdin actually got a job as a district surgeon immediately after college. This novel is completely real! Dmitry kept a diary, so even hardened fans of medical series and books have never seen more hilarious, delightful and terrifying reading!
