 Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science
Atul Gawande
Picador, April 2003
Gawande, a practicing surgeon, has written a compelling collection of essays
describing medicine as an "enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain
information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives are on the line."
This is a wonderful book and essential reading for understanding the art and science
in medicine.
Book Description:
In gripping accounts of true cases, surgeon Atul Gawande explores the power and
the limits of medicine, offering an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge.
Complications lays bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually
is--uncertain, perplexing, and profoundly human.
