It’s a stressful time right now for pre-meds, so I thought I would try to cut the anxiety by recommending a medically-related novel called “Cutting for Stone” by Dr. Abraham Verghese, Professor for the Theory and Practice of Medicine at Stanford University Medical School and Senior Associate Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine. The book follows twin brothers born to a nun and a surgeon at a mission hospital in Addis Ababa. The story is wonderful.
Try to kick back and enjoy this masterpiece.
