Media Reviews
'I don't know if Atul Gawande was born to be a surgeon -- I very much suspect so -- but he was certainly born to write. This wise and exciting account of life as a surgical resident...perfectly captures the wonder and fearful responsibility that come with cutting people open in the hope of making them whole again.' Bill Bryson 'Complications is a book about medicine that reads like a thriller. Every subject Gawunde touches is probed and dissected and turned inside out with such deftness and feeling that the reader is left breathless.' Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point. 'Gawunde draws you in with the story but leaves you wiser about science, about health, and even about the human condition.' Michael Kinsley
