Complications, By Atul Gawande
Complications
Complications a surgeon’s notes on imperfect science is a scientific book that successfully published at the beginning of the 21st century, specifically in 2002. Atul Gawande discussed a plenty of cases that he dealt with in his first years of training. It seems to be a surgeon's diary because he included details about his training and the ones who affected him. Complications is mainly divided into three parts and all of them described the message of the book.
The first part in Complications, “Fallibility” gives the reader an impression of its content before he begins to read. This part discusses a plenty of mistakes that Atul did when he starts his training. Some of these medical errors were under control, but a lot of them …show more content…
This part starts with the patient who cannot stop eating because of his psychological sense that his body requires food. This patient felt the pain whenever he starts to eat even after an operation that he had to lose weight he could not stop eating. Atul turns then to talk about patient’s decision about whether he needs to start the treatment sooner or refuse to take it and start preparing for his death. “Whose body is it Anyway” is the most chapter that attracted me, it described a patient's situation when he brought to the hospital, to get a treatment and he refuses taking it. However, a patient accepts or refuses to take a treatment this is his choice of the life he wants to live. For this reason, doctors should not force their patient to get treatment because this is the best for his health but he can help him in taking a decision that might change his life to a better position. The last chapter in the book placed in the best place for it. After a plenty of difficult operations that Atul failed in, he finally succeeded in the last one. Atul could not believe that he succeeded and helped the young girl. It seems like a miracle after all of these bad performances and because of that Atul has started to think about how he will do after this one. To me, I always believe that good things are coming even if you failed many times and when you will start to succeed you will never fail
