At least three Christmases ago my grandmother gave me a book entitled White Coat by Ellen Lerner Rothman, M.D. This book has traveled with me untouched through at least 5 different moves and up until a week ago sat on the third bookshelf in our book case sized along with other miscellaneous topics of books. This is Ellen's personal account of becoming a Doctor at Harvard Med School in which she describes in minute, but not boring, detail the experiences of applying to, getting in, going through med school and going on from there. Chronicles what you need to do and what you need to know (or not know) to become a Doctor and how even as a first year med student with no practical knowledge of medicine you are respected and revered because of the white coat you put on daily. This is my "at home" book and thus far I've read through pg. 90/335.
