His stunning novel reveals the making of doctors—what makes them tick, scheme, hurt . . . and love. From the crucible of med school’s merciless training through the demanding hours of internship and residency to the triumphs—and sometimes tragedies—beyond, Doctors brings to vivid life the men and women who seek to heal but who must first walk through fire. At the novel’s heart is the unforgettable relationship of Barney Livingston and Laura Castellano, childhood friends who separately find unsettling celebrity and unsatisfying love—until their friendship ripens into passion. Yet even their devotion to each other, even their medical gifts may not be enough to save the one life they treasure above all others. Doctors— heartbreaking, witty, inspiring, and utterly, grippingly real—is a vibrant portrait that culminates in a murder, a trial . . . and a miracle. Review: Long enjoyable read! - A wonderful read! I found this in a tattered paperback form in a little local library stand and I loved it so much even with the pages falling out that I had to go by myself a hard copy and I’m so pleased that I did. It’s a long, relaxing enjoyable read. Review: Informative, good read. - The author puts you into the lives of young men and women. Their struggles and triumphs. I like to read novels that teach me something new and this one certainly does. The main two characters are very likable and the story is compelling. I really enjoyed the read. ## Features - Author: Segal, Erich. - Publisher: Bantam - Pages: 688 - Publication Date: 1989-07-01 - Edition: Reissue - Binding: Mass Market Paperback - MSRP: 8.99 - ISBN13: 9780553278118 - ISBN: 0553278118 - Other ISBN: 9780804153225 - Other ISBN Binding: printisbn - Language: en ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #976,797 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #428 in Medical Fiction (Books) #14,921 in Literary Fiction (Books) #15,514 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,055 Reviews | ## Images ![Doctors: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C9KBWFTSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long enjoyable read! *by L***. on May 29, 2025* A wonderful read! I found this in a tattered paperback form in a little local library stand and I loved it so much even with the pages falling out that I had to go by myself a hard copy and I’m so pleased that I did. It’s a long, relaxing enjoyable read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative, good read. *by G***L on July 18, 2015* The author puts you into the lives of young men and women. Their struggles and triumphs. I like to read novels that teach me something new and this one certainly does. The main two characters are very likable and the story is compelling. I really enjoyed the read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY! *by P***Q on September 21, 2024* I came across this book in 1994, in a box of discarded books, but three chapters were missing because the book binding had rotted. I went on reading other books, and overtime the thought of the "Doctors" faded. Until, a few months ago (and 30 years later) but I couldn't remember the author or the book cover. Then I took a chance and searched "Doctors, fiction, novel", and there it was, the last hardback copy, with all 56 chapters in pristine condition. Now, I can finally find out what happened to the young doctors.
