My mom told me of a best selling non-fiction book that came out what I thought was about 5-10 years ago. I suppose it could be a little older, but not much. I think it was written by a doctor about what medical schooling, and the learning process in general, was like. He basically implied that a lot of medical schooling/learning was based on trial and error with patients and that a lot of mistakes are made by doctors and that is basically how they learn. I believe my mom said the book was seen as semi-controversial and created a lot of talk in the medical profession. Does this ring any bells with anybody?
Hmm- I looked up ‘House of God’ on wikipedia and I’m 98% sure that isn’t it. I’m almost positive my mom told me about it in the last decade and that she implied it was a relatively current non-fiction title.
