Has anyone read any inspiring/motivational books written by physicians or by surgeons ? I read How to do a liver transplant by Kelee Slater.
Nice one, I must say.

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, The Emperor of All Maladies illustrates how modern treatments--multi-pronged chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, as well as preventative care--came into existence thanks to a century's worth of research, trials, and small, essential breakthroughs around the globe.

I have lots of free time (for now....) and love reading. What are some good reads for someone who wants to study medicine?
Not an Otago student (was very very close to becoming one), but my favourite med related author has to be Adam Kay. "This is Going To Hurt" was hilarious, and I recently bought his Christmas themed book, "The Nightshift Before Christmas" for a friend.Thank you, I really find this valuable. I might print it out to remember what the true end goal is.
On another note, I recently finished 'Being Mortal' and loved 'The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down' last year. Does anyone have any recommendations for med-related books? (Not for study, just because I love a good book).
