BOOK REVIEW: COMPLICATIONS (2003) * * * * (4 stars out of 4).
External link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-titleid=1391693&ve-field=none/qid=/002-1199562-4145621
I was reluctant to give out 4 stars to a book twice in two months, when I think it should be given out only once or twice a year, but I couldn't withhold it from this amazing book.
It captures the tension between the need to give each patient the best possible care, and the need to train inexperienced doctors on real patients. It carefully examines other sources of error, and what can be done about them. It's a brilliant page-turner that is almost impossible to put down.
