Choosing to Run: A Memoir
Des Linden
My latest read was @des_linden’s Choosing to Run. 🏃🏽♀️💙💛🦄 1/ My thoughts… It was a fast read & I was drawn to her quiet & tenacious comeback story after her severe hypothyroidism diagnosis leading to her winning the Boston Marathon in 2018 (the one I missed due to injury) https://t.co/n2GWbqnyI4

These Vital Signs: A Doctor's Notes on Life and Loss in Tweets

I’ve been reading “These Vital Signs” by @TheRealDoctorT & have been loving it. Started bawling on the plane. So touched. Brought me back to the beginning of the pandemic as well. A must read by a beautiful person with all the right words. Thanks for saving us https://t.co/jI2vJgIYeE

On the Night You Were Born
Nancy Tillman
Nicolas, happy 14th! “On the night you were born, The moon smiled with such wonder That the stars peeked in to see you And the night wind whispered, “Life will never be the same.” Because there had never been anyone like you…ever in the world.” - Nancy Tillman https://t.co/QYOJZ9QfzG

The People's Hospital: Hope and Peril in American Medicine
Ricardo Nuila
I finished reading @riconuila's "The People's Hospital" & loved it. Perhaps because Ben Taub is where I trained & learned, where I saw my first brain injury patient "wake up" from coma, where my co-residents became best of friends. Great NYTimes review: https://t.co/PocgMj7NXy
