No Apparent Distress

No Apparent Distress: A Doctor's Coming-of-Age on the Front Lines of American Medicine | Rachel Pearson

A bonus #BLMReadingList pick, this one is not by a Black Author so will NOT count for #BlackPublishingPower.

This book is about how our medical system trains doctors, often in free clinics, so those without medical insurance become the patients of learning doctors who have few resources & make human mistakes... but as minority groups, often with inferior healthcare infrastructure due to systemic racism are dying of COVID at alarming rates, it‘s⤵️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ...an important read. #BLM 5y

ChasingOm Oh wow, sounds important. 5y

No Apparent Distress: A Doctor's Coming-of-Age on the Front Lines of American Medicine | Rachel Pearson

pick

I read this super fast! I had a hard time putting it down! Even though this is labeled as a book about medicine, it is also a memoir of Dr. Rachel Pearson‘s journey to and time in medical school. She went to medical school in Galveston, Texas, and she presents the city as a microcosm of the medical field in the United States. She shares anecdotes of how her patients (most poor and uninsured) can‘t get the care they need under the current system.⬇️

BarbaraTheBibliophage Way to jump right on the next book, @tjwill ! 👊🏻 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I agree with @BarbaraTheBibliophage there! It‘s definitely a different and more personal feeling read. 5y

tjwill @BarbaraTheBibliophage It‘s excellent so far! @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes, the personal feel is making it a good transition from The World Without Us, which is necessarily more detached. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @tjwill @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @daniwithtea I can't believe we're already at our half way point. Damn, time goes by fast ... 5y

tjwill @BarbaraTheBibliophage Agreed! 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Agreed! 5y

daniwithtea @BarbaraTheBibliophage agreed! We seem to pick great combinations of books, the time just flies (unlike some other book clubs I‘m in, unfortunately) 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @daniwithtea I‘ll agree with that too. This group always picks great books that I didn‘t know I needed to read... if you know what I mean. Great books, that usually either weren‘t on my radar, or were so far down my TBR list who knows if I‘d ever actually get to them. But they are always good, and last years group I‘ve recommended a few times and been reminded of a few times too as other things have come up...so they‘ve stuck with me. 5y

daniwithtea @Riveted_Reader_Melissa yes, exactly! 5y
