Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance by Atul Gawande

3.0

this is a collection of essays about various aspects of medicine. one chapter is devoted to the art of washing one's hands. this would stop several infectious diseases from spreading in hospitals. if only doctors and nurses would wash hands consistently. another chapter is about women and childbirth. it's interesting to know the history of various techniques and devices that are now the norm when it comes to childbirth. an interesting read.
