Seven Patients/ Atul Kumar/ 258 pages

Seven Patients written by Atul Kumar has the potential to be a very disturbing book.  The story takes place in a teaching hospital and is told by third year medical student Raj Mok.  He does not spare the gory details in sharing his experience with the reader.  The books read as if it were written by someone who lived the experience.  It is not clear from information  about the author if he really is a doctor, or just someone with medical knowledge and a good imagination.  This book is given mixed reviews by other readers.  Most feel it needs better editing.  I felt the sometimes odd turn of a sentence makes the book sound as if the narrator speaks English as a second language.
