What does it take to become a doctor? In a healthy dose of reality, go behind the scenes of real ERs and hospitals with seven students struggling to become your doctor. It is an intimate drama that follows a group of Harvard Medical students throughout the rigors and rewards of their medical training- anatomy and analgesics, C-sections and cardiac arrests, taking blood and giving physicals, broken bones and broken marriages. The Making of a Doctor reveals the difficulty of critical academic training and the intensity of the most grueling rite of passage of all- four years of internship. And it's not just academic. The soon to be doctors learn that character, compassion and a sense of humor counts as much as brains. "I hope life after internship is nothing like life during internship, because this is not why I became a doctor," confesses an exhausted Jane Liebshutz in the midst of a frantic emergency room shift at Boston City Hospital. However, at the end of her year, she concedes it was worth it. Becoming a doctor may be challenging, but it is satisfying, and even fun.
