Animals of Undetermined Significance

De: Hoda Z. M. Amer

Narrado por: Jane Boyer

Meet the Pathology Residents!

Marla is a new mother looking for a place to “pump,” Sana is a first-year resident looking for a place to “pray.” Neil is a good-looking Instagrammer with lots of admirers, while Pixie is an ambitious resident with almost no admirers. Lastly, the elusive and secretive Jiang, their Chief Resident. Together, they encounter strange, annoying, occasionally abusive attendings, as well as obnoxious and ridiculous clinical staff and situations. They each face struggles in their personal lives, family, friendship, and love.

A "humerous" take on five pathology residents in their professional and personal lives.

Enjoyed this story and it was very entertaining

Dr. Hoda Z. Amer tells a contemporary medical story in Animals of Undetermined Significance. I haven't listened to anything from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. I did read the print version of the story, and enjoyed it, but I also really enjoyed this audiobook. If you listen to the audiobook, I also recommend reading the print book, as it's a whole experience and perception of the story. The reader is introduced to five pathology residents. It's not just about them specializing in pathology, but also their personal lives, and how a personal life can affect one’s work, and how they manage juggling their work. Marla is a new mother, Sana wants to be able to pray, Neil is handsome and has a lot of admirers, where Pixie is ambitious, and others perception of her, make them not like her. Jiang is the Chief resident, with secrets all his one. It's a fun read, and many parts are humorous. It's an interesting look in a residency program, especially in pathology, which is the study of the cause and effects of diseases and injury. An embraceable story. An emotional rollercoaster. Animals of Undetermined Significance on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more titles by this author. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who listens to this book, to also write a review.

This book is terrible

I can’t get into this. Too many characters, too many mundane details. I’m an hour and half in and I’m not even sensing a plot.
