  Amazon.co.uk: Mount Misery: Books: Samuel Shem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Samuel Shem's The House Of God was mandatory reading as a house officer/intern (as I was when I read it), in the dark days when as a newly qualified doctor you felt alone, put-upon and frightened.
Shem tackles various theoretical viewpoints, artfully portrayed as the hero, Dr Roy Basch, whom many of us encountered in the first book, rotates through different placements in his first year as a psychiatric resident (equivalent in most respects to the senior house officer or SHO grade in Britain).
Despite that it is a fascinating account of the personal development of a young pyschiatrist's first year of training at a prestigous East Coast private psychiatric hospital, his own personal development and the development of his relationship with his long term not quite live-in lover.

According to 1 Samuel 1:20, as it appears at face value, Hannah was the mother of Samuel and named him in memory of her requesting a child from God and God listening.
Samuel was told by God that the wickedness of the sons of Eli had resulted in their dynasty being condemned to destruction (despite having been previously promised by God that it would last forever).
Samuel then went into retirement, though he reappears briefly in the two accounts of why Saul's dynasty lost divine favour (parts of 1 Samuel 13, and 15), essentially acting, according to textual scholars, as the narrator's mouthpiece.
