The student heading for med. school knows what's in store for him: the work, the respect, the honors, the money, the quickie with Nurse Florence Nightenhot under the O.R. table, the nine-iron, the sand trap and the malpractice suit.

This memoir tells of those years and his adventures in the laugh trade.
