<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER </b>• <b>Writing with all the passion of <i>Love Story</i> and power of <i>The Class</i>, Erich Segal sweeps us into the lives of the Harvard Medical School's class of 1962.  His stunning novel reveals the making of doctors—what makes them tick, scheme, hurt . . . and love.  <br></b><br>From the crucible of med school’s merciless training through the demanding hours of internship and residency to the triumphs—and sometimes tragedies—beyond, <i>Doctors</i> brings to vivid life the men and women who seek to heal but who must first walk through fire.  <br><br>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.  <br><br>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. <i>Doctors—</i>heartbreaking, witty, inspiring, and utterly, grippingly real—is a vibrant portrait that culminates in a murder, a trial . . . and a miracle.
