One of the highly acclaimed books by Erich Segal, Doctors (1988) deals with the Harvard medical class of 1962 with emphasis on the two main characters, Barney Livingston and Laura Castellano. They grew up next to each other and always aspired to be doctors, eventually ending up in medical school together. There they meet the other characters who also came to become doctors, viz., Bennett Landsman, Seth Lazarus, Hank Dwyer, Peter Wyman and Grete Anderson, Alison Redmond, and Lance Mortimer among others.
