Future 1st year medical student

This book was amazing in my opinion. It talks about everything from problems in the healthcare field to patient-doctor communication and its barriers, and how doctors must know the science of medicine as well as the "art of medicine" to become great physicians. I really enjoyed reading this book and it has reinforced all my idealistic views of what kind of doctor I hope to be.Every doctor, patient, or anyone who has any interest in medicine should read this book. Absolutely worth it!!!
