Henry Marsh's Do No Harm. It's a memoir of a neurosurgeon, where he talks pretty openly about the distance doctors try to feel toward their patients; the mistakes they make. It's heartbreaking and angering at the same time, because he does NOT hold back in his indictment of the NHS, which is, seriously, just killing people. I thought I'd learn some fun neuroscience stuff...instead I've got a whole new perspective on health care. Henry Marsh's Do No Harm.
