“I realized with alarm that I hadn’t learned how to save anyone at all, not Dr. Sanders or Lazarus or Jimmy or Saul or Anna O., and that what I was thrilled about was learning how to save myself.”
The right book at the right time. Does it have a lot of weird psychosexual stuff that maybe isn’s super necessary and that the author should see a therapist about? Yes. Is it also the realest I’ve seen medicine portrayed in media so far, and actually kind of disturbing and hard to read in the second half? Absolutely.
