Ask HN: Best “ELI5” book to learn medicine?

[user0x1d]

I want to learn medicine. Is there a book you can recommend that reads so simple anyone would understand?

I basically don't know anything about medicine and would like to learn it.

If you want to “learn medicine”, you’re going to have to get a lot more specific about your goals.

But if you want to feel smart at parties (and who doesn’t), start by reading books by Oliver Sacks.
