HeartwarmingFunnyInspiringAdam Kay is one of my favorite authors who writes about medicine and healthcare in the most wholesome, heartwarming and hilarious manner. Listen to it in the morning and it's like a shot of dopamine into your brain when you basically share the same sense of humor, especially among colleagues. If you work in healthcare and need a pick me up, read this!
