Mark Crislip's book is really good!
« on: Feb 13, 2012, 02:38:53 PM »
I listen to QuackCast by Mark Crislip which I find really interesting, I also listen to his Puscast and much of that is over my head, but since there are only a couple of episodes a month, so why not? Anyway he wrote a book Puswhisperer: A Year in the Life of an Infectious Doc that went on sale on Kindle for $1, so I figured what the hell, I'll try it. It's well written, witty, and interesting. I recommend it!

I hope he uses my 35 cents wisely.

What can possibly go wrong with a book with a waffle recipe? :)
Well, if you get annoyed with spelling mistakes, it is not for you.

Thanks Jolimont, I also listen to Mark's podcasts and have purchased his book.
I really like his sense of humor.

Yesh, he makes me laugh, and that's hard to do when talking about infectious diseases!

The thing about these shows/book is that I'm learning things about infectious disease that even ten years ago would have been the exclusive domain of med students, and not only am I taking it all in, I'm laughing my ass off.
