The cover image in the online store may differ from the real one. Pay attention to the title of the book!
A popular, fascinatingly written book about surgery.
This book is a kind of surgical study of medicine itself.
Consists of three parts ("The Inevitability of Mistakes", "Mystery", "Uncertainty").
It was shortlisted for the US National Book Award finalists and has been published in more than 100 countries around the world.
The book by Atul Gawande, a practicing surgeon and renowned popularizer of science, is a brilliant, bold and incredibly entertaining story about the everyday life of a doctor who deals daily with life and death, forced to make decisions sometimes in situations where science is unreliable, information is limited, and the stake is human life. .
Telling touching, piercing stories from his practice, the author speaks frankly about the serious problems and limitations of modern medicine, about the mysteries of the human body, about how good doctors become bad, about successes and failures in the work of a surgeon, about medical errors and about what it is a blessing to save a patient's life.
Quote
Looking inside the human body, I realized that man is a cross between a hurricane and an ice cube: in some respects a complete mystery, but in others, with sufficient scientific study and careful study, he is completely knowable. However, to think that we have reached the limits of human knowledge is just as foolish as to think that someday we will know everything.
For whom
The book may be of interest to both physicians and the widest range of readers interested in the ethics of the relationship between doctors and patients, the mysteries and problems of modern medicine.
