Following the terrible attack in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which killed the Italian ambassador, Luca Attanasio, an Italian military policeman, Vittorio Iacovacci, and their driver Moustapha Milambo, the Socialists and Democrats Group has called on the European Parliament, in a resolution which will be voted on tomorrow, to condemn this killing and call for a thorough and independent inquiry. The too-cosy relations between the Congolese authorities and the armed groups can no longer be tolerated. It is time to implement the recommendations of the United Nations Mapping Report to strengthen the justice sector and ensure that perpetrators of human rights violations are brought to justice. The direct and bloody link between instability in the DRC and the illegal mineral trade must finally be broken. The EU can make a difference by implementing the Conflict Minerals Regulation and the upcoming proposals on corporate due diligence.

Recently I was at an Emergency Room (luckily nothing too serious) and got to talking with the doctors. One mentioned how he had seen some really interesting stuff during his work at home in South Africa. Not being medically trained, I am glad he didn’t offer descriptions of the “really interesting stuff” he was thinking of. It probably involved fluids that I would prefer stayed inside the body (although I did love Rose George’s Nine Pints, so some description is okay). While I don’t love gory details, I do like reading doctors’ memoirs. I probably started with Atul Gawande’s Complications before I found some of these titles. What follows are some of my favorite memoirs by doctors in different settings.
