Description: Complications; A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande (2003, Trade Paperback). This book was required reading when I was in nursing school. Dr. Gawande revolutionized the way operating rooms and hospitals are run. His insight and honesty are blistering and essential. From the cover: "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." This copy is in very good condition. There are three previously dog-eared pages, but otherwise it is unmarked and completely intact.
