Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande

4.0

---

As someone who knows very little about surgery I was expecting this book to be hard to read. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to digest. Medical terms were well explained, and generally the writing style was easy, yet factual and full of interesting anecdotes and commentary about a variety of topics.

This book will be an interesting read for anyone interested in medicine, surgery or fans of Gawande.
