This medical nonfiction highlights Mu\u00f1oz’s first year of his fellowship at Johns Hopkins, a year where he\u00a0does a rotation through\u00a0all of the fields of cardiology: preventive care, nuclear medicine, echocardiography, intensive care, heart failure and transplantation, and electrophysiology.

Throughout this book, Mu\u00f1oz talks about how this fellowship is allowing him to search, learn, and discover more about his place in medicine. I really enjoyed his breakdown of each profession and how within each rotation, the cardiologists do very different things, but that there is an overarching goal for all: to keep learning and training and practicing medicine to provide better healthcare for patients. This book really showed the different stages that certain doctors go through while trying to find their niche in the world, while also providing an in-depth look into such a highly sought after fellowship at Johns Hopkins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
