Complications – Atul Gawande

Complications by Atul Gawande

In Complications, surgeon Atul Gawande offers a gripping and honest look into the uncertainties, limits, and human realities of modern medicine. Through true cases from the operating room and beyond, he illuminates how doctors learn, where they fail, and why medicine—despite its scientific foundations—remains deeply imperfect and profoundly human. Candid, unsettling, and compassionate, this is one of the most important books ever written about the practice of medicine. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
