Visit Moore Books for drinks, snacks, and conversation with Rosalind Kaplan (Nonfiction, June 2020) about her memoir in essays, Still Healing.

The American view of doctors vacillates between seeing them as heroes with hearts of gold and nerves of steel and disparaging them as arrogant, callous, and careless. The truth lies between: Doctors are human beings with professional training that, at best, allows them to heal people and, at worst, to harm or even hasten death. Still Healing, a memoir in essays, explores the complicated realm of medical training, practice, and culture. With vulnerability and humor, it gives a glimpse into the world of a doctor and an honest and sometimes searing view of our healthcare system.
