Product Information
In gripping accounts of true cases, surgeon Atul Gawande explores the power and the limits of medicine, offering an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge. Complications lays bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is--uncertain, perplexing, and profoundly human. Complications is a 2002 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.

Reviews
Atul Gawande is a rare and wonderful storyteller who portrays his profession with bravery and humanity., Gawande's prose, much like the scalpel he wields, is precise, daring, but never reckless....Much like reading George Orwell, the reader emerges entertained, enlightened, transformed and immensely satisfied., No one writes about medicine as a human subject as well as Atul Gawande. His stories about becoming a surgeon are scary, funny, absorbing....Complications is a uniquely soulful book about the science of mending bodies., "None surpass Gawande in the ability to create a sense of immediacy, in his power to conjure the reality of the ward, the thrill of the moment-by-moment medical or surgical drama. Complications impresses for its truth and authenticity, virtues that it owes to its author being as much forceful writer as uncompromising chronicler." -The New York Times Book Review "No one writes about medicine as a human subject as well as Atul Gawande. His stories about becoming a surgeon are scary, funny, absorbing....Complications is a uniquely soulful book about the science of mending bodies." -Adam Gopnik, author of Paris to the Moon "Gawande is arguably the best nonfiction doctor-writer around....He's prescient and thoughtful...the heir to Lewis Thomas' humble, insightful and brilliantly crafted oeuvre." -Salon.com "Complications is a book about medicine that reads like a thriller. Every subject Atul Gawande touches is probed and dissected and turned inside out with such deftness and feeling and counterintuitive insight that the reader is left breathless." -Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point "Gawande is a writer with a scalpel pen and an X-ray eye.... He turns every case-from gunshot wounds to morbid obesity to flesh-eating bacteria-into a thriller in miniature.

Great seller! Product came well packaged and as described, which, now knowing that this was once an 11th grade student's thoroughly read paperback from some 13 years ago, I'm amazed with the book's very good condition. There are numerous dog-eared pages and very minimal writing/notes therein, neither of which hinder the book unreadable, just shows that this student and/or previous owners did their work and found the book interesting. Can't wait to start it, myself. Highly recommended seller!

It was as described. Sugar bowl was excellent but the creamer was broken into 4 pieces. Packed well but looks like it was put under too much pressure when the box was closed. I glued it to be able to display but sad it was broken.
