Top 12 Best Medical Books if you love to read about medicine

I run a medical book club. For the last 6 years, we have met every 6 weeks and have read over 50 books. Our group all work in medical professions (physicians, nurses, dentists, health care technicians, psychologists) in a range of specialties (EM, Rheumatology, ICU, OB/GYN, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Dentistry). We only read medically-themed books. Each time, we ‘pitch’ a book selection to the group and then vote for the next read. This keeps our book picks diverse—everything from historical fiction, popular fiction, non-fiction, and memoirs–whatever gets the most votes, becomes our next read. Although each of us has a personal favorite, the following 12 books are the ones we liked the most as a group. These books are in random order. If you scroll further down further, I have also included many from the whole list in case you are looking for more medical book recommendations.
