Book Review of Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance

Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


I generally don't read medical books, but Gawande is a fascinating author. Writing somewhat in the style of Malcolm Gladwell, he writes about medical issues in such a way that they are interesting. I can't adequately describe the genre, but I will say that this book provides things that you ponder and things that you bring up in conversation, just because you want to tell somebody this fascinating fact or story you read.
