The desire to do better is universal. Whatever we do, we all face limited resources, we lack the ability, we get tired. But there is no other area in which the quality of work is as important as in medicine: after all, a human life depends on every decision of a doctor. In this book, Atul Gawande talks about how doctors fight to keep the gap between the best intentions and real accomplishments as small as possible. Describing a military field hospital in Iraq, a maternity ward in Boston, or a polio vaccination in India, Gawande shows the difficulties that must be overcome by solving sometimes seemingly impossible tasks. Equally meticulously, the author explores routine issues, such as handwashing and the wage system, and the most sensitive topics: from the ethical dilemma facing doctors involved in the execution of a death sentence, to medical errors and medical negligence trials. And everything that Gawande writes about is subject to the search for an answer to the main question: how can one achieve not just good, but better results in this incredibly necessary and responsible profession?
