I'm not looking for textbooks here, I'm looking for books written by and/or for PICU docs, about cool stories, life lessons, reflections, etc.

Think Complications and Better by Dr. Gawande, but about Peds Intensive Care instead of surgery

Thanks all!

I don’t know any specific books though I will say Atul Gawande’s stuff is very relevant to PICU.

Though this came out during my fellowship, it essentially became required reading... and very apt to the patients in the PICU... and modern ICUs in general...
