If you’re looking for some recreational reading with a medical twist, here are some options that I highly recommend. These are 2 books that I read before starting PA school, and I think anyone interested or involved in the medical field should read these books. They are written by Dr. Atul Gawande. Gawande is a surgeon so he can definitely relate, and on top of that, he’s an incredibly skilled writer. Easy to read, and makes you think. Both Better and Complications address issues facing the medical field and Dr. Gawande’s opinion on them. I don’t necessarily agree with all of his opinions, but they have helped me to form my own.
Still Alice / Being Mortal / The House of God
And if you have some extra time on your hands, here are some other books that I’m reading or are on my list! I’m going to do some more detailed book reviews in the future, but comment below with any books that you recommend!
