The Intern Blues by Robert Marion Md
While supervising a small group of interns at a major New York medical center, Dr. Robert Marion asked three of them to keep a careful diary over the course of a year. Andy, Mark, and Amy vividly describe their real-life lessons in treating very sick children; confronting child abuse and the awful human impact of the AIDS epidemic; skirting the indifference of the hospital bureaucracy; and overcoming their own fears, insecurities, and constant fatigue. Their stories are harrowing and often funny; their personal triumph is unforgettable.
This updated edition of The Intern Blues includes a new preface from the author discussing the status of medical training in America today and a new afterword updating the reader on the lives of the three young interns who first shared their stories with readers more than a decade ago.
Robert Marion, the author, was born in the 1950s in Redlands, California. He left the United States of America. After twenty years of honorable service in the Navy, I've decided to retire. Robert has traveled to twenty different countries and has spent more than fifteen years in police enforcement. Warrior Honor (formerly known as Lines You Do Not Cross) was written while he was confined to his house, caring for his terminally sick wife of 39 years, who required round-the-clock care.
Surprisingly, his life has since followed the path of the character in that novel. He went to Cebu, Philippines, to fulfill a promise he made to his dying wife: he would locate her family in the Philippines. He did find them, and he found his new spouse, Mrs., just like the character. Marion, Marlyn.
Marlyn, a single mother of 42 years, has had her fill of online dating services. She had almost given up looking for a genuine, sincere man after six sites and five years. She joined yet another dating site to gratify a pal. She met Robert there, and their story begins to unfold...
Robert and Marlyn Marion are co-authors of the real romance novel Finding My Rainbow. They offer a honest and insightful look into the world of international dating and the Visa process for foreign brides seeking to marry in the United States. Robert has also written two other works, the first of which is Tana-Waka, the first novel in a Native American-themed fantasy-romance trilogy. Maka is the second book in the Tana-Waka series.
