Med school reading list

In better news, I've lately been talking to lots of people about lots of great books to read related to medicine and health care. (Mostly, people suggesting books to me.) I've started to compile a list:

  • David Ansell, County: Life, Death, and Politics at Chicago's Public Hospital
  • Rita Charon
  • Jerome Groopman, How Doctors Think
  • Tracy Kidder, Mountains Beyond Mountains
  • Perri Klass
  • Bernard Lown, The Lost Art of Healing
  • Danielle Ofri
  • Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
  • Samuel Shem, House of God and Mount Misery
  • Rebecca Skloot, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
  • Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone
