The Empathy Exams

Despite the fact that this is not a perfect book full of perfect essays, I liked it quite a lot. I fancy myself a student of pain and suffering and it seems Leslie Jamison does as well. If it seems she is focusing too much on herself and her pain, maybe that's an even greater reason to read her book. One can only suffer inside oneself, after all, and we must learn to validate the suffering of others.

Anyway, A+ topic, B content.
