    Samuel Shem’s The House of God and afterwards

    By: Samuel Shem With his latest novel, Our Hospital, out this month, author Samuel Shem reflects on the impact that House of God has had on doctors and medical students for over 40 years and reminds students of the essential truths of practicing medicine.  I never wanted to write a novel; it was sort of an accident.
