Having brought his activist attitudes with him to school he nearly is expelled from on several occasions. Will these two medical students reach their goal of becoming physicians? Or will their environment be their greatest test?

They struggle with learning to become physicians following the thirteen four week "rotations" that mark the final passage before qualifying for medical licensure. During this tumultuous era they work long hours in a challenging environment while trying to preserve their marriage. After four difficult years of medical school Max is very discouraged. He was lucky to get into the alphabol internship--based on his wife's record. He will try to find himself, starting on the Jail Ward, while his wife is in a different part of the County Hospital complex. Along his way he encounters Abe Grant, a bona fide radical doctor, who draws him back into activism--something that nearly cost him his med school graduation. The doctors at County become outraged by the miserable conditions, capped by a disastrously botched deluge of patients. They hold a heal-in, trying to influence the county government to improve conditions. Max and Abe become involved with a radical community group, which puts them in danger. Towards the end of the year Max has found himself. His marriage is intact and he's selected to lead the activist doctors the next year. As chariman of the Medical Standards Committee his troubles are starting all over again. His internship ends with an unworldy night duty covering for absent doctors and how to get primobolan treating desperately sick patients.
