## Description

Better: A Surgeon'S Notes On Performance : Atul Gawande: desertcart.in: Fashion

Review: A delightful non-fiction thriller - Dr. Gawande has redefined the meaning of the word better in this book and I thank him for that. The books tells me that being better is not just about the widely accepted notion of practicing more or doing a task repeatedly toll you achieve mastery in it. Instead it tells me that being better is a constant endeavor. It explains this wonderfully through his medicine tales of fight against polio, cystic fibrosis, war etc.
Review: An inspirational book. - My love for fictional medical dramas and series made me choose this book. I began reading with a hope to understand the lives of doctors better and I wasn't disappointed. I opted for a paperback version. Paper quality and print is good. This is an inspirational book to not just doctors but all professionals alike. As the name suggests, the theme of the book revolves around doctors striving to be better at what they do - saving lives. The book is divided into 3 parts, diligence, doing right and ingenuity which the author says are 3 core requirements for success in medicine. Each of these parts are further divided into sections which offer a peek into the lives of medical practitioners. Over the course of this book, you find yourself traveling to a village in India, you witness war scene in Iraq, you become a spectator to courtroom proceedings in Cambridge apart from visits to various hospitals. Such is the versatility of the topics covered.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read
*by M***L on 20 February 2020*

I have read Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. This is my second book by this author. The book reads well, and has some nuggets of knowledge. I thought "Being Mortal" book had greater impact.
