Robin Cook acknowledges the reality of the content and how it is based upon his own experience as a young intern. Although a lot has happened in medicine since then, Dr. Cook emphasizes that the experiences of an intern during that year are still more or less the same. Hence "The Year of the Intern" is basically very accurate.
This book is a very medical book. Almost mirrorizing what goes on in all departments of a large busy hospital day and night. Detailed descriptions of cases, treatment, operations, medication. Everything that goes on behind the scenes. Serious - at times brutal - sad, heartwarming, touching.

Résumé
The nurse's voice on the phone is desperate, but young Dr. Peters, in his first weeks of internship, is only bone-tired and a little afraid. He has forgotten when he last slept. Yet he knows that in the coming hours he will have to make life-or-death decisions regarding patients, assist contemptuous surgeons in the operating room, deal with nurses who may know more than he does, cope with worried relatives and friends of the injured and ill, and pretend at all times to be what he has not yet become--a fully qualified doctor.
This book is about what happens to a young intern as he goes through the year that promises to make him into a doctor, and threatens to destroy him as a human being--
