Atul Gawande performs surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science
that is complicated, perplexing and profoundly human. Dramatic true
stories explore how mistakes occur, why good surgeons go bad, and what
happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable: an architect
with incapacitating back pain but no physical cause; a young woman with
nausea that won’t go away; a TV newscaster whose blushing is so severe
that she cannot do her job.
