Better - A Surgeon's Notes on Performance |
The words "Wash your hands" sum up this riveting book 'diagonising' the human condition, by famous young US surgeon (of Indian extraction), as he takes us behind the medical mask and helps us to understand the work he and his colleagues try to do to console and help humanity with his wide experience and philosophy. Makes for exhilarating, humane and very interesting reading.
