All That Moves Us: Life Lessons from a Pediatric Neurosurgeon by Jay Wellons
5.0
It's been a minute since a book impressed an expansive feeling of gratitude in me. (I love books, and I am of course grateful for their general existence - but this is a more acute, unmissable kind of feeling towards a book that I read at the perfect time.)
Jay Wellons, a paediatric neurosurgeon, shares anecdotes of his patients, and the trajectory of his career. As in most memoirs of this kind, the stories about patients and surgeries are fascinating. When I struggle to study, I read books with medical themes, and All That Moves Us strikes a perfect balance between telling a story accessibly to laypersons, but cerebral enough to maintain the attention of a medical audience. I practically studied the whole neurosurgery chapter by reading this! (Joking, but also not joking.)
