Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science

Intriguing. Gawande covers aspects of complexity that make medicine so much more an art than a science, against doctors' self-image and certainly, against patient expectation.

In the end, the book is an interesting collection of essays, not slow enough to bore me and make me stop reading, but also not enough of a page turner to keep me fired up for more, except the prospect of reaching the end and moving on to another book. Go figure.
