Root's Reading Group to discuss Complications: A Surgeon's
Notes on an Imperfect Science, by Atul Gawande. At GR. Two notable
reviews of Complications:
"No one writes about medicine as a human subject as well as Atul Gawande.
His stories about becoming a surgeon are scary, funny, absorbing....Complications
is a uniquely soulful book about the science of mending bodies.” —Adam
Gopnik, author of Paris to the Moon
“Complications is a book about medicine that reads like a thriller.
Every subject Atul Gawande touches is probed and dissected and turned
inside out with such deftness and feeling and counterintuitive insight
that the reader is left breathless.” —Malcolm Gladwell, author of The
Tipping Point
