This podcast was a little different and, hence, so are the show notes. What follows is the books mentioned during the recording. The list is neither comprehensive nor to suggest we’re especially literate: we’re not. Instead, we’re merely encouraging people to explore books about the wider world of medicine and to bolster your courage when you come to write your own! Feel free to share your favorites, especially those that we missed, via our Twitter or Instagram accounts.
