Not a perfect book and could be dry, but gave me lots of information on an event I hadn't heard about before. I'm hoping to start nursing school in March and this book made me think a lot about someone's life, the field of medicine, and the ways the two can mix. I've mostly seen medicine favorably and I appreciated this bringing up arguments on the other side of that.
