The Gunner - 2815

Sophia Abney lives in a rundown apartment with her slacker brother and handicapped mother. After graduating from community college, she wins a full scholarship to medical school. It’s the chance of a lifetime for a poor city kid, one she believes will raise her family out of poverty. But once school starts, she quickly falls behind her classmates, all from rich families and elite colleges. She begins to worry she’ll never become a doctor. Then she meets Miles Sebastian, a fourth-year student determined to become an uber-wealthy specialist. He teaches Sophia to excel in medical school by following the “Gunner Rules.” With Sebastian’s help, she rises to the top of her class. But when her tactics become dangerous, she begins to doubt Sebastian’s methods. Soon, she must choose between her principles and her grades. What cost is she willing to bear to remain a gunner? A satire of medical school in 2023, the Gunner offers a rare and hilarious glimpse at the experience of modern medical students. Here are just a few comments from medical students who have fallen in love with the Gunner: "I applaud you on such a masterpiece." "I love how relatable it is to med student life and dilemmas." "This book is such an accurate look at medical school. How the admins treat students, the craziness of professionalism teaching, the pressure to outperform other students. It's all there, captured in perfect detail." "I really enjoyed the storytelling, related to many moments, and thought you nailed lots of funny details as well. Some of the later chapters were also touching and felt genuine to the experiences of medicine." "There were moments that were just so eerily accurate." "I honestly binge read between 160-240 because I couldn’t put it down." "I think the book teaches an important lesson that med school and its temptations to become so competitive are not what true patient care is about, and they’re definitely not what life is about."
