    What Hacker News says

      Hacking Healthcare (HC specific) and The DevOps Handbook (general) are the books I buy for everyone joining the team.

      I recommend Eric Topol's books as well, including The Creative Destruction of Medicine and Deep Medicine. Lots of food for thought.

      Vitamins are a complete scam. They aren't even FDA regulated. After I read about their ineffectiveness and possible harm, I threw all of my bottles into the garbage can.

      The placebo effect is powerful.

      I highly recommend reading Topol's "The Creative Destruction of Medicine" for more information.
