'Complications: A Surgeon's Notes', 'Checklist Manifesto','Better' Atul Gawande

Description: The three volumes offered are all by Atul Gawande, New York based surgeon and columnist: they are:- 'Complications - A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science', and in paperback, he deals with the complications of Surgery and the reduction of medical error. Written like a thriller in places, it is an exciting read. 'Better' - A Surgeon's Notes on Performance', the second book, also in paperback, takes up the story and by using a wide range of examples and settings shows how improved performance may be attained - how to get from 'good' to 'better'. 'The Checklist Manifesto - How To Get things Right', the final book offered, is in hardback, and continues Gawande's search for solutions with many examples drawn from around the world and showing solutions by simplification and check-listing even the most complex procedures from building skyscrapers to a "90 second checklist in surgery that reduced deaths/complications by more than one-third in eight hospital settings". This is effectively a trilogy of thrilling insights into surgery and medicine, and culminates in a usable solution for reducing deaths and complications - but transferable to many walks of life, and with lessons for us all - the 'general reader' included.
