@anatomyandheart: 6 books I think every medical student should read at least once ! I don’t think you need to read all of these during your M1. But I think every medical student should read books that remind them that medicine is more than memorizing anatomy, passing exams, and learning diseases. Read with an open mind and empathy these books recommendations 🫶 ••• #studytok #medschool #fyp #medstudent #BookTok
Throw back: House of God. Mandatory reading when I was just starting out 😛

When Breath becomes Air took my heart out of my chest and stomped it. One of the best books I’ve ever read.

The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. This book made me rethink everything I knew about making the "correct" medical decision. It dives into the importance of cultural understandings in Healthcare.

I’m a psychologist not a physician and I’ve read these books. Everyone should read them. Siddhartha Mukherjee is a truly gifted writer. His other books - The Gene and The Song of The Cell are equally well done. Sherwin Nuland’s “How We Die”

I also recommend Josie’s Story to everyone. It’s about a young girl who dies from a medical error and her mom leading the charge to change communication practices in hospitals like John’s Hopkins. It really teaches you from the very beginning the importance of communication and multidisciplinary team work in healthcare!
