Special - House of God

Jonathan, Chris, and special guest Nicholas Koziris discuss the popular novel House of God by Samuel Shem, a thinly veiled fictional account of Shem’s year as a medical intern at a major hospital in Boston, published in 1978. They discuss despair, suicide, and doctors lusting after busty nurses. But they mostly look at how much medicine has (or hasn’t) changed in the past 50 years. This episode contains adult themes and language.   The book: https://bit.ly/2W6tEbI   0:00 First impressions 8:19 Women 17:42 Patients 26:00 Laws of the House of God 36:51 Buff and Turf 41:15 House of God: The Movie 45:43 Compassion and judgment in healthcare 55:30 House of God vs. Scrubs (vs. ER) 1:01:00 Parting thoughts and lots of dead bodies     To contribute to The Body of Evidence, go to our Patreon page at: http://www.patreon.com/thebodyofevidence/.     Music Credits   Theme music: "Troll of the Mountain Swing" by the Underscore Orkestra.   Expressive Blockbuster  by Rafael Krux Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5349-expressive-blockbuster- License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Dantes Dream by MusicParadise Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5061-dantes-dream License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Shades of Spring by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4342-shades-of-spring License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Chromatic Fantasia (Bach BWV 930) by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3504-chromatic-fantasia-bach-bwv-930- License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Raindrops  by Rafael Krux Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/5590-raindrops- License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
