The Laws of Medicine: Field Notes from an Uncertain Science by Siddhartha Mukherjee

informative reflective

A short read - an interesting emphasis and perspective on why we should also look at the outliers in medicine. They could tell you as much as the inliers. Tests are only as accurate as the group you deduce and choose to test (through history-taking etc.) Also, there is much that is unknown within medicine — keeping in mind we once believed and only tried tonunderstand thebsolar system with earth at its center. (Making subsequent rules faulty and full of exceptions until the theory of the sun being at the center was formed.)
