Complications:
A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande
Gently dismantling the myth of medical infallibility, Dr. Atul Gawande's
Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science is essential reading
for anyone involved in medicine--on either end of the stethoscope. Medical
professionals make mistakes, learn on the job, and improvise much of their
technique and self-confidence. Gawande's tales are humane and passionate
reminders that doctors are people, too. His prose is thoughtful and deeply
engaging, shifting from sometimes painful stories of suffering patients
(including his own child) to intriguing suggestions for improving medicine
with the same care he expresses in the surgical theater. Some of his ideas
will make health care providers nervous or even angry, but his disarming
style, confessional tone, and thoughtful arguments should win over most
readers. Complications is a book with heart and an excellent bedside manner,
celebrating rather than berating doctors for being merely human. --Rob
