In my efforts to manage my free time, I have decided to allocate more time for reading. I figured reading books that appeal to my interests and can provide helpful information on my future career path would be the best place to start. There are so many books written by medical doctors that discuss their unique insights and experiences as they maneuvered through the various stages of their careers. Here are some of those types of books that I plan on reading:
The House of God by Samuel Shem
When Breath becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
An American Sickness by Elisabeth Rosenthal
The Soul of a Doctor by Susan Pories, M.D., Sachin H. Jain, and Gordon Harper M.D.
Better by Atul Gawande, M.D.
