Essential, required reading for doctors and patients alike: A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and one of the world’s premiere cancer researchers reveals an urgent philosophy on the little-known principles that govern medicine—and how understanding these principles can empower us all.

Over a decade ago, when Siddhartha Mukherjee was a young, exhausted, and isolated medical resident, he discovered a book that would forever change the way he understood the medical profession. The book, The Youngest Science, forced Dr. Mukherjee to ask himself an urgent, fundamental question: Is medicine a “science”? Sciences must have laws—statements of truth based on repeated experiments that describe some universal attribute of nature. But does medicine have laws like other sciences?

Dr. Mukherjee has spent his career pondering this question—a question that would ultimately produce some of most serious thinking he would do around the tenets of his discipline—culminating in The Laws of Medicine. In this important treatise, he investigates the most perplexing and illuminating cases of his career that ultimately led him to identify the three key principles that govern medicine.

Brimming with fascinating historical details and modern medical wonders, this important book is a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and Eureka! moments that people outside of the medical profession rarely see. Written with Dr. Mukherjee’s signature eloquence and passionate prose, The Laws of Medicine is a critical read, not just for those in the medical profession, but for everyone who is moved to better understand how their health and well-being is being treated. Ultimately, this book lays the groundwork for a new way of understanding medicine, now and into the future.

A splendid exploration of how medicine might be transformed." (Kirkus (starred))

Slight but worthwhile

Beautifully crafted in the Mukherjee way with important insights about the all-too-human limits of medical science. The short text doesn’t justify the ambitious title.

The author shares the physicians view of medicine. I do not argue with the simplicity of
The book, because many people ignore simple things though they may be significant.

What I feel is going on in North American medicine is the following:

Doctors can get sued, they need expensive insurance. Residency is practically institutionalized
Hazing. Middle class people cannot become doctors because it costs too much in time
And money.

Despite all of this, some people still go through with this process. There is privilege and
Respect in a licence to practice medicine.

So what is wrong with the medical profession today?

Just as in the Trump presidency, the masses or the silent majority have voted with their
Wallet. Acupuncture and TCM is not unheard of in Canada nowadays, neither is
Ayurvedic medicine, thanks to the simplified works of a certain Dr Deepak Chopra.

I predict that if mainstream doctors do not accept these trends, they will earn even less
In the future.

I’ve always been spell bound by the way Mukherjee writes. And this is one of this best short non fiction novels. It drives home the point. Doctors are fallible. We are not gods.

Short and insightful

This book is a great read, especially for those work in more black and white fields like IT. A lot of careful work goes into medicine, but it is not engineering. muhkerjee writes with a wonderful flowing style that makes the material a joy to read.

This book is an extended reflection on the different cognitive cultures that come together in the discipline(s) of medicine, which is itself at once a natural as well as a human science. It is full of comparative and historical insights about the interactions between reason, intuition, memory, language, emotions, perception and imagination. (Teachers of IB Theory of Knowledge will recognize this list of faculties as the Ways of Knowing.) I cannot recommend this book urgently enough to my TOK colleagues the world over, and to anyone interested in a richly reasoned account of the scientific and social complexities at play in medical diagnosis and treatment.
