Why do you think he did that? What do you think happens to Fitzgerald? Lam leaves several stories open-ended-”Winston” and “Contact Tracing”-where we never learn the fate of key characters.How did you feel about Lam’s exposure of the negative sides of medical practice, such as the death in “Code Clock” that was clearly unnoticed by the nurse, or the biting incident in “Eli.” Does it humanize physicians and nurses, or do you think it risks creating a fearful public? In engaging with these themes, what does it indicate about how the public views physicians today-that is, no longer as inscrutable figures of authority.How did you feel about Fitz’s character flaws, of which there seem to be many? What sort of social responsibility does a doctor have, or accountability for his/her actions outside practice? Did you judge him for his behaviour, such as sneaking into Ming’s apartment and his drinking, or are such weaknesses forgivable given the strain of an intense medical career?.
Given the popularity of medical dramas on TV, how did you find reading such material in book format? Is it fair to say it’s a closer representation of reality or not? Why do you think general public is so fascinated by medical drama?.Did you find certain medical scenes in the book "sickening"? Which one(s)? Do you think that this was Lam's intent in the way the scenes were written?.
