Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis. Sanders, Lisa. 276 p. (I skimmed some parts of this - put me down for 150 p.!)

This was one of Patrick and Christa's favorites of last year. In addition to the interesting anecdotes, I liked the combination of the author's humility about medicine's flaws and her cautious optimism that the system can improve. --Kathleen
