Klappentext zu „Better “
In his new book, Gawande explores how doctors strive to close the gap between best intentions and best performance in the face of obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable. He provides a detailed blueprint for success that can be used by everyone.Autoren-Porträt von Atul Gawande

Rezension zu „Better “
"'I found I had been gripping the book so hard that my fingers hurt... it calls to mind one of the great classics of medical literature, Mikhail Bulgakov's A Country Doctor's Notebook. Few modern authors can stand that comparison, but Gawande can.' Sunday Times 'His book is riveting: packed with insights, its luminous prose lifting effortlessly off the page... It is essential reading for doctors and should be handed out with the antibiotics to all users of the NHS. It has already been described as a modern masterpiece - and so it is.' Independent 'It seems unfair that a surgeon should be able to write so beautifully... Better is perfect bedside reading - although it might keep you awake - for doctors as well as patients...All will learn something of value from this infinitely wise and humane surgeon' Daily Mail"
