Akshaya Jayachandran, NephJC intern was inspired by John Green’s Everything is Tuberculosis to write the following poem.
#NephJC Summer Bookclub: Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green
The summer book club started in 2015, with one of the best books we have done in book club, Atul Gawande's Being Mortal. I think it should be required reading for all physicians. So now, in 2025, it is the NephJC Summer Book’s tenth anniversary (which represents our eleventh book). The history has been rich:
Summer Book Club 2024. The Covenant of Water
Summer Book Club 2023. How Medicine Works and When It Doesn't by F. Perry Wilson
A scientist teases The Codebreaker
The NephJC Summer Book Club: 'Codebreaker'
Summer Book Club 2022. The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race by Walter Isaacson
Mythical transplants: Stories of Selfless Sacrifice
When Death Becomes Life: A Poetic Reflection
The NephJC Summer Book Club: 'When Death Becomes Life'
It’s back! The NephJC Summer Book Club with great read by Joshua Mezrich, When Death Becomes Life, Notes from a Transplant Surgeon. Part history book, part memoir, Mezrich explores the past, future and the current realities of organ transplant through the experiences of the pioneers, recipients, and donors. Join us August third and fourth to chat about this summer’s community read.
