National Bestseller The struggle to perform well is universal: each
of us faces fatigue, limited resources, and imperfect abilities in
whatever we do. But nowhere is this drive to do better more
important than in medicine, where lives may be on the line with any
decision. Atul Gawande, the "New York Times" bestselling author of
Complications, examines, in riveting accounts of medical failure
and triumph, how success is achieved in this complex and
risk-filled profession. At once unflinching and compassionate,
"Better" is an exhilarating journey, narrated by "arguably the best
nonfiction doctor-writer around" ("Salon.com").
