Set in the demanding environment of a 1984 New York City residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology, this poignant story explores the harsh realities of medicine through the experiences of young physicians facing intense pressures and complex relationships. Chief resident Jimmy Zito appears to have it all—exceptional clinical skills, charm, and a beautiful girlfriend—but he grapples with a troubled past and escalating conflicts during his final month of training. As he attempts to support his fellow residents through their personal struggles, he finds himself ill-equipped to manage the relentless demands of the profession, exacerbated by a toxic work culture and the emotional toll of Ob-Gyn. Intern Henry Deluca is haunted by a devastating surgical complication, while co-chief resident Greta Greenberg faces moral dilemmas in a busy abortion clinic. Best friend Mike O'Rourke is pushed to the brink by a callous superior, and Kim Clark, Jimmy's love interest, endures torment from a sadistic Chairman. Compounding Jimmy's challenges are his needy girlfriend and stubborn father. The intertwining subplots culminate in a dramatic mishap that shakes the program and transforms Jimmy's life forever. The author, a retired physician with a distinguished career in Obstetrics and Gynecology, draws on his experiences to craft this compelling narrative.
