Black Man in a White Coat
By Damon Tweedy, MD
304 pages;
Picador
A proud med student at Duke, Tweedy was rocked to the core when a professor assumed he was a janitor who'd come to fix the classroom lights. In this fascinating, heartbreaking memoir, Tweedy documents his experiences as an African American doctor in a medical system that can be "just as sick as its patients."
