Playing with Knives

"Greyas Anatomy" meets "Kitchen Confidential" in this fast-paced, behind-the-scenes account of what really happens on the path to becoming a surgeon
After landing a coveted and highly competitive residency at St. Vincentas Hospital in Manhattan, Ken Rose started out with a self-proclaimed aunsupported arrogant attitude.a "Playing with Knives" is the gripping and often darkly funny story of Roseas surgical training in the turbulent late 1980s at one of the most intense and high-pressure hospitals in the country.
"Playing with Knives" charts the progress of a young and cocky doctor who endures and ultimately overcomes enormous challenges. Rose eventually learns to grow up in the process of becoming a good and caring physician. "Playing with Knives" takes us into operating rooms and emergency rooms where hapless young doctors guess their way through life-and-death situations; where egomaniacal surgeons play personal politics at the most ruthless levels; and where, in the face of impossible odds, miracles become an every day occurrence.
Now a successful plastic surgeon in Manhattan, Dr. Rose tells a story that combines the irreverence of "M*A*S*H" with a heartfelt passion for the art of medicine.
