Sandeep Jauhar, a cardiologist and the author of the recent memoir Intern: A Doctor’s Initiation, in NYT:
To meet the expenses of my growing family, I recently started moonlighting at a private medical practice in Queens. On Saturday mornings, I drive past Chinese takeout places and storefronts advertising cheap divorces to a white-shingled office building in a middle-class neighborhood.
