Just to follow up on our last edition: Shrinks is so worth your time if you'd like to know how psychiatric treatment has evolved over time. While I'll never work psych (although we ALL have psych patients, no matter what area we are), it was a very meaningful book for me.
In my humble opinion, it should be required reading for all nurses before or during your psychiatric nursing class.
Here are a few other books I enjoyed recently:
1. The Laws of Medicine by Siddartha Mukerjee
This is a very short little book that's worth your time. I'm going to check out the Emperor of All Maladies soon.
And on the nightstand right now:
2. American Smoke by Iain Sinclair
Just started this one about the author who follows the trail of American literary stars such as Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs.
3. Lights & Sirens by Kevin Grange
I've called for lights and sirens a few times at the Hotel, so I was intrigued by this description of the life of a paramedic.
More to come on these books. Have a great week!
