Description
This is a stunningly well-written account of the life of a surgeon: what it is like to cut into people's bodies and the terrifying - literally life and death - decisions that have to be made.There are accounts of operations that go wrong; of doctors who go to the bad; why autopsies are necessary; what it feels like to insert your knife into someone.

Interesting Anecdotes illustrating an imperfect science
I have been a fan of Gawande since reading better some years back, which covered the struggle for excellence inherent in the medical science.
Although not as well sewn together as Better with a unifying theme, I devoured this interesting read in a matter of hours.

Uncertainty in a Doctor's life
Uncertainty. "I don't know". Not what we want to hear from our doctors. Dr. Gawande's book is all about giving us a few insights into the complex world of medicine that the western world practices.
It was a fascinating read for me, as it brought out quite clearly the failings of human decision making... Knowledge n experience are useful, but not sufficient by themselves.

Very Interesting read
I think Atul Gawande is one of those very few surgeons who have been very successful in bringing the ideas from medical science to a wider audience. His ideas have found applications in diverse fields like investing (The checklist manifesto is particularly very popular book among value investor community).
"Complications" had been in my "To Read" list, ever since I read his "The Checklist Manifesto". Although, I did not find any specific unifying theme in this book, but never the less, it's ...

Highly recommended
Outstanding, indeed!
This book takes you through Gawande's initial years of medicine life and drama.
At the end of this book, you learn that doctors make mistakes and that is OK!.
It is all about learning experiences, after all!

one of the good books I ever read
Reading such books always inspires and make us proud that we are doctors. This books also tells the experience the author has in medical field an the way things are handled during the training of a doctor. Similar experiences might have happened in everybody's life.
