When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error by Danielle Ofri

5.0

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

Ate this up so fast. I really appreciate the authors ability to reflect with pure honesty about their mistakes and the need for forthright medical practice. I also really enjoyed learning about the systemic problems and pressures that contribute to burnout, turnover, and mistakes in medical settings. Medical history/science is one of favorite genres, so I'm a bit biased, but if you like the the genre, I think you'll enjoy this. Some really touching/heartbreaking personal patient stories within.
