Review Praise for FINDING JOY IN MEDICINE "In Finding Joy in Medicine Reza Manesh has crafted a magnificent love song to medicine. Part memoir, part reflection, this short work echoes with the beauty and suspense, the exhilaration and heartbreaks of love itself. And throughout it all, like a bass line, flows the essential wonder and pleasures of learning and teaching. A joy to read." -Lisa Sanders, MD, Yale School of Medicine, Contributing Writer, New York Times Magazine "The journey from layperson to physician is, in essence, a typical professional transformation of novice to expert.
