Re: Re: Re: Jan 15 This is Going to Hurt
Hey, if I can get some WOWs in conversation, it's worth it. *Laugh*

Do you have some along the same lines that you can think of that you do recommend?

I really enjoyed Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End By: Atul Gawande and was told by a doctor that it was required reading in her medical school. It's about dying, so it's not the most cheery book, but it's really interesting, IMO.

While searching for that book because I couldn't remember the author, I discovered he also wrote Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science By: Atul Gawande, which is now in my Wish List. *Laugh* And that book lead me to When Death Becomes Life: Notes from a Transplant Surgeon By: Joshua D. Mezrich, which I've also now added. *Facepalm* That book lead me to Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital By: David Oshinsky, which is also now in my Wish List. *Headbang* Do you see what you've started?!? *Laugh* On the good side, they're all rated 4.5 or above, so they should be good. Plus, most of my Wish List will never make it to the Library unless it's on sale, so there's that. *FingersCrossed* Of course, that doesn't matter with my Audible Library fast approaching 7k books! *Scared* *Rolling*
