The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down -one of my all time favorite books, period.
The Scalpel and the Silver Bear -Native American who became a surgeon -not well written, but ok
Complications (surgery) -pretty good, writer was asian/amer (Indian, I think? Can't remember) guy who had a wife and a pile of kids
On Call (okay recent description of residency) -took place in seattle, female resident
I haven't read it, but plan to read The Language of Medicine over winter break, since my clinical experience thus far has not made me feel like I know any medical terminology at all, and I'd like to not feel like a dumba** in anatomy and pathology.
Oooh, First Cut (about anatomy lab)
I was a humanities major, I like books, I can't help it. You sit with your playstation, I sit with my books.
