Medical musings with Paul Offit

My cousin Priya recently qualified to be a pediatrician in Minneapolis, and she and my mother are trying to get me to follow suit. I'm not sure about pediatrics but I do like the idea of medical research. I was looking at medical schools in Philadelphia and I noticed that it was the hometown of Paul Offit, a pediatrician who wrote a few books my dad recommended to my cousin.

I had read that Paul Offit had also been doing a lot of research into vaccines, and that level of work (ie research) appeals to me because I've always been interested in science as a way to fix things. I also noticed that Paul Offit writes in less of a text book style, so it might be easier for a non-med student like me to read. I generally trust Priya to recommend some good books to me :)
