Found an interesting book online - "Heart Failure - Diary of a Third Year Medical Student" by Michael Greger. To give you a flavor of what it seems to be about, here are two quotes he starts his book with:
Besides medical school, there is probably no other four-year experience - unless it be four year's service in a war - that can so change the cognitive content of one's mind and the nature of one's relationships with others.
- F.D. Moorse, Harvard Medical School
This is the School of Babylon
And at its hand we learn
To walk into the furnaces
And whistle as we burn.
- Thomas Blackburn
