Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance Overview

National Bestseller

 

The struggle to perform well is universal: each of us faces fatigue, limited resources, and imperfect abilities in whatever we do. But nowhere is this drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives may be on the line with any decision.

 

Atul Gawande, the New York Times bestselling author of Complications, examines, in riveting accounts of medical failure and triumph, how success is achieved in this complex and risk-filled profession. At once unflinching and compassionate, Better is an exhilarating journey, narrated by "arguably the best nonfiction doctor-writer around" (Salon.com).

Lots of new topics covered, less emphasis on the essentials - Tintin - Dallas, Texas United States
In an effort to provide the readers with the latest advances on the topic, the authors ignore the fundamentals of the LASIK procedure, wavefront physics, and the customized treatment and go in breadth over a myriad of topics that are of less importance. In addition, the book is not well structured and chapters are spread out haphazardly throughout the book, not following any logical order. The chapters themselves are not organized, lack the recapitulating tables that the previous editions had, have little references listed and most of the times no references at all. Obviously written quickly and hastily by a mercenary of authors, it doesn't live up to the hype.

Book - E. Larsen - Oregon
The good doctor performed Lasik on a family member, misaimed the machine, and damaged my family member for life. The doctor took no responsibility. This error was a conclusion arrived at by three seperate evaluations. An ego can write a book but a doctor takes responsibility for his work.
