SIX BOOKS EVERY BUDDING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL SHOULD READ

Doctors make good writers. Somerset Maugham, the famous short-story writer and novelist, was a physician. So was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the famous Sherlock Holmes. Here are some fascinating books in the area of healthcare:

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande: This US-based neurosurgeon also writes for The New Yorker. If you like Being Mortal, there’s a whole set of Gawande’s books you can try. Also read The Checklist Manifesto.

The Laws of Medicine: Field Notes from an Uncertain Science by Siddharth Mukerjee:This slim book starts when Mukerjee is a young, exhausted and isolated medical resident, grappling with the ethics and practice of medicine. Philosophical, and yet practical, it’s a great read. If you enjoy this, also read the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Emperor of All Maladies, and the more recent Gene, both by the same author.

Reflections of a Surgeon, a biography of Dr Vinayak Shrikhande (who retired as Head of Surgery at Bombay Hospital): Simply written, this book is full of interesting and valuable anecdotes and experiences.

Coma by Robin Cook: This racy thriller will give you a crash course on the subject of ethics in the health profession. For more thrills associated with organ donation, health insurance, dangerous drugs and their side effects, read his other books like Toxin, Outbreak, Fatal Cure, Final Diagnosis.

When Breath Becomes Air by Dr Paul Kalanithi: A real life story that pulls at the heartstrings, this bestselling book recounts a doctor’s struggle with cancer.

Saturday by Ian McEwan: Booker Prize-winning novelist McEwan follows a day in the life of London-based neurosurgeon Dr Henry Perowne.
