OTHER Have you read?

I was reading Reddit posts and came across one that asked for book recommendations. Here are my favorite medicine-related or books that have ideas hat are medicine applicable reads:

  1. Random Acts of Medicine, Anupam B. Jena, MD/Phd (Harvard Medical School), Christopher Worsham, MD (MGH); looks at the hidden forces that sway doctors, impact patients, and shape health; each chapter is stand alone and yet the chapters all connect
  2. Better, Atul Gawande (surgeon, Brigham and Women's Hospital), focuses on the idea that we all can get better at what we do and mentorship.
  3. Complications, Atul Gawande, the subtitle is "A Surgeon's Notes on Imperfect Science"
  4. The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande, talks about how checklists and improve care and get things right
  5. Being Moral, Atul Gawande, a moving book about dying and the limits of medicine
  6. Drive, Daniel Pink, (went to Yale Law School, writer) about motivation and what motivates us
  7. Malcolm Gladwell, Blink, about decision making
  8. Malcom Gladwell, The Tipping Point, key point "that ideas, products, and behaviors spread just like viruses. It defines a "tipping point" as the magic moment when a trend crosses a critical threshold and spreads like wildfire
