Written by Vincent Lam, this book is the events that shape the lives of 4 people - from their high school to their doctor life - Chen, Fitz, Ming and Sri.
Chen and Fitz are romantically involved after being friends. But they break up and Ming and Chen end up marrying. Ming, Chen and Sri are classmates. While Chen and Fitz were in high school, they studied together, got involved and Chen made it to university, while Fitz didn't. Things start widening between them, until they break up.
While at school, Lam explores the troubles of medical students through Ming, Chen and Sri, with dissection, group labs, exams, writeups, relationships. After growing up, he explores the impact of SARS, on call doctors and the stress of being a doctor.
The book was a very good and interesting read. Certainly, it wasn't something expected and it was a new viewpoint and way of looking at the lives of the doctors. Although there is not one set storyline, other than the main synopsis above, it contains many little snippets and events that make up the book. Definitely worth a read.
