Now, 10 years later, the outside is adorned with blue and green painted scales, the basketball court is buzzing with energy, and kids of all ages flow in and out of its doors with ease. The vibe: A more promising future.

Recently I was at an Emergency Room (luckily nothing too serious) and got to talking with the doctors. One mentioned how he had seen some really interesting stuff during his work at home in South Africa. Not being medically trained, I am glad he didn’t offer descriptions of the “really interesting stuff” he was thinking of. It probably involved fluids that I would prefer stayed inside the body (although I did love Rose George’s Nine Pints, so some description is okay). While I don’t love gory details, I do like reading doctors’ memoirs. I probably started with Atul Gawande’s Complications before I found some of these titles. What follows are some of my favorite memoirs by doctors in different settings.
