Planes de boda
Imagine that you’re moving to work in another city because your boyfriend lives there. Now imagine that your boyfriend leaves you for another woman the day before you arrive so you have to start looking for somewhere to live. Your faith in men would be shot to pieces, wouldn’t it? Especially if it turns out that after you’ve finished crying your eyes out, the first man who shows an interest in you seems to be the kind who wants to take the whole world by storm. Well, that's exactly what happened to Dr. Jomeini. Then add to that endless nightshifts, new colleagues – some more dangerous than a piranha in a bidet, especially the resident trauma surgeon who thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread – and new flatmates, who sometimes also have to be handled with care. This book describes the adventures and misadventures of Dr. Jomeini in her first two years as a resident anesthetist at the Hospital de Cristal in Madrid: a hilarious story of family relationships and falling in and out of love.
