Produktbeschreibung

In striving to achieve the best results, we all face fatigue, limited resources, and imperfect abilities. And this desire to always try to do the best you can most importantly manifests itself in medicine, where life depends on every decision. The author explores how doctors often have to choose between making decisions in favor of better intentions or in favor of better performance in the face of obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable. Captivating stories of hard work, ingenuity, and doing the right thing take us to a field camp in Iraq, to labor and delivery rooms in Boston, to a polio outbreak in India, and even to lawsuits. Atul Gawande discusses the ethical dilemmas of doctors' involvement in lethal injections, the impact of money in modern medicine, and revisits the controversial history of handwashing. A story about the personal practice of a surgeon gives an honest look at a profession where mistakes are unacceptable and inevitable.
