Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance by Atul Gawande
informative
fast-paced
3.0
A series of mostly unconnected essays about the medical field, especially from a surgeon’s point of view.
This book has been on my shelf forever, and now that I’ve read it, that was probably fine. I think when I bought it I was expecting some insights that could be taken over to the business world, but this was just mostly interesting facts about medicine in the US. The “performance” mentioned in the title was basically: be diligent, sweat the details, and never give up. Still, it was an interesting glimpse into US healthcare and well written, so 3 stars.
