Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures - Vincent Lam

Giller Prize winner for 2006.

Lam weaves a tale of the inter-connected lives of a group of med students, as they work their way from pre-med courses, to med school, and into practice. His characters are complete and well rounded, each with bright wonderful qualities, and dark flawed qualities as well. His tale shines light on the pressures faced by those in this profession, and how they choose to cope with those pressures.

A good read.
