Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande

4.0

I’m not sure I liked it more than Being Mortal. Then again, they broach two vastly different subject matters. This one felt valuable and timely for me to read. A reassurance that continuing to push re: some medical issues I have is, perhaps, wise. And reminds me to have grace for the medical professionals I encounter. Some, sure, are crusty and burnt out. Most are doing the best they can with the data they have in an ocean of otherwise uncertainty.
