Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande
4.0
Pretty good. The main message is that doctors are humans, and like all humans, make mistakes. It questions how much we can control or prevent this, and what impact that has on the decisions we make in medicine, both as doctors and as patients.
This book is also chock full of interesting real life stories (with names changed, of course) of patients that have been affected one way or another by their own choices or by the choices of their doctors.
