Helpful Score: 3

Quite frankly, I found this book difficult to put down. Gawande is an excellent writer and the subject is fascinating. It was a thought provoking book as well as an eye opener. How doctors make the decisions they do and arrive at their conclusions is something we all need to know more about. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in medicine, has been a patient, will be a patient or knows someone who may someday be a patient. It is a cautionary tale that both reminds us of the limits of medicine as well as some of the remarkable things that can be done.
