In terms of recent reads, When the Air Hits Your Brain: Tales of Neurosurgery is an excellent look into the people and personalities who get into the field. It's presented as a series of explorations of patients through the author's medical career and can be very formulaic, but his accounts are gripping and I'm a shameless whore for excellent medical non-fiction. It's similar to some of Atul Gawande's work, so if you enjoy his style I'd definitely recommend it.

The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry is a short easy read which delves into how we deal with madness. Ronson's style is either to your tastes or is isn't, and it's a shame he focuses more on his 'crazy' adventures then looking deeply into psychopathy.
