Should aspiring pre-meds read this book? Doctored

I changed my wording to something that I thought you’d be less likely to nitpick. I guess I was wrong.

It’s not a question of whether some persons praise the book. The question is whether the book is a representative experience. Sure there are doctors who enter the field in an effort to please parents, give patients unnecessary surgery, etc. That’s interesting reading, but that does not mean it’s a representative experience of what pre-meds can expect to feel and experience if they enter the field. For example, I enjoyed watching The Social Network and would give high praise to the movie, but I wouldn’t say all aspiring CS majors should watch the movie for a representative experience. It’s often the case that most interesting books and movies involve persons who had unique experiences, rather than the ones who had the best representation of the average.
