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

5.0

I loved this book...very well written. The author strikes the perfect balance of describing complex medical coinditions without "writing over the reader's head". Each chapter describes a different, challenging medical case. The stories about a woman with extreme morning sickness and another person with the dreaded "flesh-eating" bacterial skin infection were particularly good.
