The Devil Wears Scrubs
Dr. Jane McGill · Book 1
Jane McGill gets lost in County Hospital on her first day and turns up at the residents’ lounge a minute late. That’s enough to get her on the wrong side of Dr. Alyssa Morgan. Jane has a month of internship to get through and a senior resident who’s already taking notice of her for the wrong reason.

What makes it funny?
Jane keeps track of how many hours she’s been awake. She also puts a percentage on the chance she’ll quit. Between those two numbers you get a running picture of what the hospital’s schedule and its pecking order are doing to the newest doctor.
The comedy at work
Jane gets to tell the story herself. She can be angry about how the residents treat her and still get to the joke about her own performance before anyone else does.
Try this if…
This is hospital fiction for readers who want to spend time with the new doctor trying to find her way around, long before she’s the person anybody looks to for reassurance. There’s a battle of wits with a surgeon alongside the trouble with her boss.
