Better: A Surgeons Notes on Performance - Gurugram Penguin Random House India Private Limited 2009 - 222
Nowhere is the drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives are on the line with every decision. Atul Gawande’s gripping stories take us to battlefield surgical tents in Iraq, delivery rooms in Boston, a polio outbreak in India, and malpractice courtrooms in the US. He discusses the ethical dilemma of lethal injections, examines the influence of money on modern medicine, and recounts the contentious history of handwashing. And as in all his writing, he gives us an inside look at his own life as a surgeon.
