Better – A surgeon’s notes on performance

Atul Gawande is a general surgeon at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, a staff writer for The New Yorker, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health, and a frequent contributor to The New England Journal of Medicine. In “Better” Atul is rallying all medical professionals to strive to do better. Nowhere, he suggests, is this more important than in medicine, where lives are on the line with every decision. From surgical tents in Iraq, to obstetrics, to monitoring polio vaccinations in India and cystic fibrosis patients in the US, Atul demonstrates in each area the challenges and how these have been or may be overcome. Both fascinating and enthralling, Better provides a rare insight into elements that illuminate success, and will be enjoyed by general readers and healthcare professionals.
