Medical science books

2, "Drug History"

The study of fine arts to read art history, the study of architecture to read the history of architecture, the study of medicine to read the history of medicine, there is no doubt that the study of pharmacy to have their own history of drugs. This book should be considered a masterpiece of drug history, although she is not so famous, and even read a little ? Time jump? But that can't be helped. The process of drug discovery is so convoluted and colorful, so trivial and jumpy, and the variety of drugs is so vast and rich. This book is organized by drug class, thus increasing the time jump. But that doesn't stop anyone who wants to know the interesting or boring stories behind the drugs from reading this book. The strengths of this book are that the history of drugs is relatively comprehensive and the anecdotes behind the discovery of drugs are eloquent and not boring. The disadvantages are the recurring characters and the time jumps (you have to realize that previous pharmacologists were not vegetarians, often discovering this one year and a more sensational one the next).

3. "Master of Genius? The Making of a Scientific Dynasty"

This book is one of a series of contemporary science fiction masterpieces, which alone is significant. The book is meant to be about mentorship in American science, and its chosen perspective is the world of pharmacology. As a result, this book is often used as required reading for introductory science in pharmacology. The author uses a documentary portrayal of the personalities and stories of one pharmacologist after another to show that pharmacology flourished as well as mentorship, and you are fairly easily impressed by the work ethic of these scientists. The book is largely chronological, so it's much clearer than the last book, but still a little confusing? This is because these scientists are so mobile, and then look at the scientists we have here who basically die of old age in one unit? Also, you shouldn't expect a book like this to actually tell you the mechanism of action of a drug.

4. "Deadly Bacteria? Confessions of a Superbug

This book is undoubtedly the clearest and most specialized of the recommended books on the mechanism of action of drugs. Unfortunately, this book is only about antibiotics, which is too narrow compared to the other books. However, this does not prevent this book has become my favorite, on the one hand, I really love antibiotics fanatically, on the other hand, this book is written by Chinese people, its language style and ideas to read more comfortable, much stronger than those tough translated books, while the author's style of humor, the content of the practical, so do not have to worry about reading read to fall asleep. Read this book, basically pharmacology book in the antibiotic part of the content you have understood half, the rest just go back to read the textbook can be in-depth. However, like the pharmacology book, the content of this book is also very old. In Shanghai, gentamicin and streptomycin have disappeared from the market, while this book still mentions these two old favorites nostalgically. Some of the applications are also very different from the current guidelines. But the book is, after all, behind the times; it cannot bring together the most up-to-date information, and once it is published it is assumed that he is behind the curve. But that doesn't stop first-time readers from using him as a primer to learn about the specialty, but also about the downsides of this clinical use of medication, and you may even see the vices of those close to you. Of course, it is also highly recommended for colleagues above the third year of college, only as a novel, do not take it as a professional book.

5, "Survival of the Sick"

"Survival of the Sick" is a very famous medical science book, in the shell of the book list and know the book list is recommended. It tells the misunderstanding of our understanding of disease and turns the general idea upside down. Of course, it's still the same, and modern guidelines have almost subverted it a lot too. But there are some classic ideas that shine through timelessly.

6. The Fourth Virus

The type of medical science book represented by The Fourth Virus is autobiographical. Its author is the one who takes the adventure in the story. Into the mysterious land of Africa, unknown viruses one after another attacked the people here, scientists with bravery and professionalism to fight with the virus. This is an appetizing book that gave me a sense of the dangers and unknowns of infectious disease, showed me the fervor of the virologists, and kept me on a wild goose chase all the way toward the desperate fight against infection without looking back. Just a personal recommendation here, this was my first professional science book, and although it was autobiographical and not so professional, it really infected me. There is no substitute for this power. There is no best book under the sun, only better, but the one that infects you and makes you fall in love with the subject is the most priceless to you.

7, "Only doctors know things"

This book is not considered a classic, just a bestseller. But honestly this book is still good, just lack of time precipitation. The author is Dr. Zhang Yu, an obstetrician and gynecologist from Peking Union Medical College, and the content is about those things about women's bodies. The name of the book is good, quite a gimmick, but unfortunately it is about the woman's body of some misunderstandings, we look forward to those medical shady, I'm afraid to let the readers watching the disappointment. If you are a girl recommended that you read, if you are a boy, recommended that you buy a copy for the girl.

8, "Medical Road"

This is the real medical shady book. The Heart of the Matter is also really small in front of it. Probably the biggest failing of "The Art of the Heart" was that it was made into a serialized drama, which led to the censoring of certain elements. There is an element of truth to the exposés in The Road to Medicine, but it also favors the doctors at times. The ending, in particular, where the main character is forced by the media to leave his post at the hospital, is saddening and completely lacking in the melodramatic overtones of "The Art of the Heart". That's probably why it's not officially recommended. But after all, it's still a novel, so just check it out.

9, "Disruptive Healthcare: the Personal Health Revolution in the Age of Big Data"

The future of healthcare is about to be shaped by wireless sensors, genomics, imaging technologies, and electronic health information? disruptive innovations?!

In the new era of medicine, each person is fully defined at the individual level, rather than being medically diagnosed at the group level, as is the case today. Group medicine will mass screen for breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc., and the same diagnosis will prescribe the same medications and dosages without treating the individual patient's unique situation.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the absolute authority and paternalistic position of doctors in medical activities is being shaken, and patients, who can make full use of information, networks, and all kinds of tools, to be more involved in the decision-making of self-medical management and health management. Instead of playing the role of a knowledge warehouse, the future doctor will be a knowledge manager, communicating with and caring for patients, providing decision support for patients, or helping patients to make decisions, and becoming a partner for smart patients.

So for a journey into the future of medicine, this book is a must-read.
