Complications A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science Author: 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.

Gawande has written a book that captures so much of the uncertainty and the imperfection of modern medicine. He does it in a personal, conversational style. Thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking!
