Résumé

In these gripping accounts of true cases, bestselling author Atul Gawande performs exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealised form, but as it actually is - complicated, perplexing and profoundly human. Dramatic and revealing stories of patients and doctors explore how deadly mistakes occur, what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable and what it feels like to insert your knife into someone.
