When it comes to books #aboutadoctor or about medicine, I highly recommend Atul Gawande. His books are so well written and informative.

pickThe author of this book went to med school and practices at Duke, which is near where I live, so I was very interested in it. The book is exactly what the subtitle says, a doctor‘s reflection on race and medicine. He weaves his own story and those of patients he meets with a broader context. This was my #DoubleSpin book for March. I‘ve had it since I saw him interview Jodi Picoult at a book event. #AboutADoctor #MagnificentMarch
This book #AboutaDoctor reminds me why I love Nick Hornby. Angst & insight stirred with sarcasm, wit, irreverance. Dr. Katie Carr searches for meaning in her life & discovers "It is the act of reading itself I miss, the opportunity to retreat further and further from the world until I have found some space . . . hearing something other than the chatter chatter chatter in my head." Aah! #MagnificentMarch @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620
This is the last book I read that was #aboutadoctor. Robert leads a double life. He spends days in a NYC ER treating patients, then spends nights tracking down and delivering justice to those who put them there. Robert is a cross between Dr. Gregory House and Daredevil. It‘s a short book, but action packed!
