Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital by David M. Oshinsky

4.0

Using Bellevue Hospital in New York City as its vehicle, this book tells the fascinating history of modern Western medicine. (Like, did you know that it was basically a med student rite of passage to steal bodies from the morgue so that they’d have cadavers to learn on?!) As a medical provider, I found parts of this book to be thrilling and remarkable, and kept bringing up tidbits to friends and coworkers in conversation. (Audiobook)
