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

5.0

I think I liked this second book by this author even better than the first. Interesting essays on controlling polio outbreaks in India, how surgery during war has evolved so that far fewer injured soldiers are dying, how surgery and hospitals do business in India, how doctors fee schedules came to be, etiquette for examining patients in the office with chaperoned, clothes on/off, etc. An interesting look at many aspects of medicine.
