Has anyone read Dr. Firlik’s book yet? If so, how was it?

not very good; it’s a haphazard amalgamation of her random thoughts put together in a book

vertosick’s air hits your brain is much better.

Thanks Praying, but is there absolutely no good info in the book for females considering neurosurgery?

not really.  she doesnt want to make a huge deal about that aspect; like i said, its just her random thoughts on everything
starts with her childhood, discusses residency, couple interesting cases, random facets she finds interesting, her reflections on the field, and ends with her outlook.

there’s no empowering emotional saga to motivate women to become neurosurgeons.  its addressed minimally; i dont think she intended it to be a new-age feminist type thing, its just what she’s always wanted to say to the world, in book form
