The Night Interns

內容簡介

內容簡介 醫院，看似和平、安全，病人會受到妥善照料，但對實習醫生來說，醫院就像恐怖戰場，輪值夜班就像但丁在地獄中行進，耳邊傳來病患們哀嚎求救的聲音，而他們忙於奔波救援。三位年輕的實習醫生以三人一組的模式開始夜班診間巡視，隨時待命，疲憊、睡眠不足、經驗不夠，而漫漫長夜才正要開始，還有什麼驚悚事件在前方等待著？作者Austin Duffy本身就是腫瘤科醫師，書中的專業醫學語彙增添更多真實性與臨場感，幽默諷刺的敘事方法，讓讀者在看似驚悚卻忠實還原的醫院夜班生活中，瞥見人性的荒誕與無奈。 "Stylish, mordant, and pitch-perfect - I read it in one sitting. If Rachel Cusk or Sally Rooney had been junior doctors they might have come up with something like this " - Gavin Francis, author of Recover---Intravenous lines, catheters, bodies in distress, wounds: three young surgical interns working the night shift must care for - and keep alive - the influx of patients, while frightened and uncertain about what the night will throw at them.The Night Interns beautifully conjures the alien space of the hospital wards and corridors through the viewpoint of one of the interns, as he comes to terms with the bodily reality of the patients and the bizarre instruments of healing. Equally unsettling for the inexperienced junior staff are the dysfunctional hierarchies of the hospital workplace. Under intense pressure and with very little sleep, the interns become inured to their encounters with sickness, all the while searching for the meaning in their work.By turns moving, shocking, and darkly funny, The Night Interns fizzes with nervous energy, forensic insight and moral tension, as it evokes life and death on the frontline."
