#NephJCBookClub next Tuesday and Wednesday

It is here. The fourth annual NephJC Summer Book Club. Academics in summer slow down and the rhythm changes. To recognize that NephJC changes it up. Instead of reviewing a paper we review a book. We kicked this off in 2015 with Being Mortal by Atul Gawande.

In 2016 we read Eric Topol's, The Patient Will See You Now

Last year we read Vanessa Grubb's, Hundreds of Interlaced Fingers.

This year we are reading Siddhartha Mukherjee's

Laws of Medicine, Field Notes from an Uncertain Science

This is less of a book and more of a long pamphlet. It is only 90 pages but he packs a lot of wisdom into those 90 pages. It is a jewel box.  If you haven’t started reading it, you can read through the whole thing in just over an hour and a half. Get it.

The crew at NephJC has ben blogging there way trough the book summarizing the Laws and reacting to the Laws, take a look.

 

If you have thoughts that you want to share, hit me up on the Twitter.
