What to expect

The end of residency isn’t the utopia you might have imagined.

You know what to do with the medical stuff, but what about navigating private practice, unfamiliar hospitals, and—patients!

In this collection of absurd moments, practical advice, and humorous tales from the medical trenches, Dr. John Chase shares stories from his forty years as an orthopedic surgeon and offers insight into how to be successful, have fun, and take care of patients without missing out on what really matters in life.

You What?! is an entertaining and quick book for medical students, those in the medical field, and people who want insight into the humorous side of how doctors think.

Critics Review

“A light-hearted look at the profession that’s narrated through anecdotes, recollections, and nostalgic stories from Dr. Chase’s career…You What?! adds an entertaining, delightful flavor into its mix of medical conundrums and educational insights.”

Midwest Book Review

“Great stories and advice for those going into a medical practice…Anyone will enjoy the stories.”

Reedsy Discover

“An emotional guidebook for anybody starting out in medicine.”

Michael MacMillan, MD

“The author has created a marvelous compendium and perspectives of his forty-year career, and this read gives insight into the rarefied world when the door closes to the outside.”

T. W. Ainsworth, MD, author of The Architect of Revenge

“As informative as it is entertaining, You What?! does an incredible job of capturing life as a surgeon as it really is. While those with a passive interest in medicine will very much enjoy it, those interested in a medical career should add it to their list of professional must-reads.”

Elizabeth Hultgren, MD
