Buying Complications Notes from the Life of a Young Surgeon


The Secrets of Modern Medicine Revealed
This book offers a highly accurate and inspiring story of the day-to-day life experiences of a highly dedicated surgeon striving to provide perfect medical care in an imperfect world. Surgery, indeed, is a specialty that is more about action than about words. Quick thought, timely intervention and attention to details are the absolute qualities needed to practice surgery. Normally surgeons do not get the luxury of time to involve in long conversations and reflections. They are considered men of action rather than men of words. It is, therefore, very incredible and surprising to see how well Dr. Gawande has been able to put his thoughts and reflections in a way to catch attention of a wide variety of readers- both medical and non-medical.
As a medical doctor and the author of the book "The Secrets of Modern Medicine Revealed", I feel that the message of Dr. Gawande's book and my book is very similar. We are both trying to describe the inside knowledge and day-to-day "trade secrets" of the medical world in plain English so that general readers can understand the challenges today's doctors face when attempting to provide the best medical care.
The point of view of a surgeon and that of an Internal Medicine Physician obviously differ in minute details. But from the thoughts of Dr. Gawande, it seem like we are looking at the same thing only from a slightly different angle of observation.
I highly recommend the readers of my book to read Dr. Gawande's book as the thoughts and ideas are complimentary to each other and you will be able to get the whole picture of the modern medical practice.
Thank you
