Two Suggested Books For The Student Studying Medicine

Here are 2 books that I recommend for any student studying in the field of healthcare & medicine:

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach

The Manual of Surgery by Alexis Thomson & Alexander Miles

I realize there are numerous books regarding medicine, but these 2 in particular are what I’ve read over the summer, & I really enjoyed them.

The former explores the world of human cadavers & reveals how many different ways they can be used, either in research, education, or experimentation for the benefit of medical students & society.

The latter is an older written text that dates back to the Victorian Age when surgery & medicine were experiencing great changes. Yes, it’s old, but it teaches the numerous ways surgery can be performed holistically & how various forms of injury can be dealt with…many of which have become the foundations for medicine today.

Two great books. I’m glad I was able to read them.

'Til next time.

Deuces.
