I just finished How Doctors Think, by Jerome Groopman. It came highly recommended by the guys who wrote Freakonomics; needless to say, it was well below par. It stated very obvious things in a very roundabout, repetitive way.
It also broke one of my cardinal rules: leave out your religious beliefs, please and thank you. This guy (subtly) injected his own religious beliefs into a number of the stories, which I did not appreciate. To his credit, though, he did acknowledge some benefits of atheistic/agnostic viewpoints, however briefly.
If you must read this one, skim it.
