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.
John Chase, MD, is a recently retired Orthopaedic surgeon with “infinite capacity for useless information.” Combining stories that all those in medical fields will recognize with a few insights and lessons about the practice of medicine was his goal in writing this book. He attributes his values to growing up in Iowa and his solid fund of knowledge from receiving his undergraduate degree from Iowa State University and Medical degree from the University of Iowa. Orthopaedic Residency at the University of Florida rounded out his academic and surgical preparation for a career in Orthopaedic surgery, focusing on knee and ankle problems. His family is the personal legacy he is passing on, and this book is the professional side of that.
Bronson Pinchot is an experienced narrator and actor who has appeared in multiple films and television shows.

A lover of Greek Revival architecture and soft shell crab, he currently resides in Manhattan.
Reviews
“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.”
“Great stories and advice for those going into a medical practice…Anyone will enjoy the stories.”
“An emotional guidebook for anybody starting out in medicine.”
“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.”
“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.”
