This Side of Doctoring: Reflections from Women in Medicine

Must read for all women in medicine

Every aspiring doctor, medical student and physician should read this book. If you want to hear what life has been (and is) like for women doctors this captures the agony and ecstasy of the profession. It contains funny stories, beautiful poems and tragic tales of women doctors past and present. I will remember many of these stories for years to come... the young medical student introducing her boyfriend to her cadaver, a doctor herself miscarrying while she delivers a patient's baby, and many more. Many of today's leading women physician writers (as well as women doctors working today) have included pieces, that will inspire, inform or surprise you with their honesty and clarity. It's good for busy women as you can read one story or ten! Makes you wonder what the future holds for women in medicine.
