Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science
by Atul Gawande
Sparked my interest in pathology - especially autopsies and forensic pathology. In western medicine nowadays it is assumed when people die it's due to complications of X. While it's probably correct and logical to assume that is the case. The gold standard to really understand what happened is to do an autopsy. Could culture in society and potentially funding constraints be hampering our ability to learn from our mistakes?
