I didn’t see any women doctors when I was young. The person who I saw and admired was Billie Jean King. I took my career path into emergency medicine, but I learned a lot about competition and resilience from the trailblazer.

I review Dr. Adam Hill's memoir that bravely recounts his experience and treatment with depression and alcoholism as a medical student, resident and attending physician. Our profession has a tragic problem with suicide and we are not kind towards our own who seek treatment. This is a compelling memoir that, I hope, will encourage more people to seek treatment.

I share my review of Kiara Imani’s terrific book: Therapy Isn’t Just For White People. One chapter, that illustrated the poor treatment the author received in a local emergency department, spoke to me. We have got to do more to recognize bias and gaslighting.

The Measure by Nikki Erlick invites readers to think hard about how they want to spend this one precious life. Of course, she features an emergency physician, because this is how we roll.
