“ The stories in Complications are gripping medical mysteries that always have something extra. “Atul Gawande is a rare and wonderful storyteller who portrays his profession with bravery and humanity.” - Ellen Goodman, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist “Wrenching human tales.Gawande has pushed the medical yarn in a new direction.” - The Boston Globe “Gawande's prose, much like the scalpel he wields, is precise, daring, but never reckless.Much like reading George Orwell, the reader emerges entertained, enlightened, transformed and immensely satisfied.” - Abraham Verghese, author of My Own Country
He turns every case-from gunshot wounds to morbid obesity to flesh-eating bacteria-into a thriller in miniature. “Gawande is a writer with a scalpel pen and an X-ray eye. Every subject Atul Gawande touches is probed and dissected and turned inside out with such deftness and feeling and counterintuitive insight that the reader is left breathless.” - Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point “Complications is a book about medicine that reads like a thriller.
“Gawande is arguably the best nonfiction doctor-writer around.He's prescient and thoughtful.the heir to Lewis Thomas' humble, insightful and brilliantly crafted oeuvre.”.
His stories about becoming a surgeon are scary, funny, absorbing.Complications is a uniquely soulful book about the science of mending bodies.” - Adam Gopnik, author of Paris to the Moon “No one writes about medicine as a human subject as well as Atul Gawande. Complications impresses for its truth and authenticity, virtues that it owes to its author being as much forceful writer as uncompromising chronicler.” - The New York Times Book Review
“None surpass Gawande in the ability to create a sense of immediacy, in his power to conjure the reality of the ward, the thrill of the moment-by-moment medical or surgical drama.
