Becoming a Doctor at Harvard Medical School
In this book, the author offers a vivid account of her four years at one of the best medical schools in the country, and opens the infamously closed door between patient and doctor.
With a thoughtful, candid voice, Rothman writes about a wide range of experiences - from a dream of holding the hand of a cadaver she had dissected to the acute embarrassment she felt when asking patients about their sexual histories. This is a fascinating account of one woman's journey through school and into the high-stakes drama of the medical world.
