Atul gives his interpretation in a clear and easy to follow way. I have found that is was easily applicable to the aviation field (which is more relevant to me) and gave an interesting starting point for us to define our own 'better. I am a fan of his work anyway so was confident I would enjoy this book. As I work with people who have English as a second language there are often concerns about misunderstandings, I find that I am attracted to books that define terms that we all thought we knew already. They give an insight into the complexity of a topic and remind me that even between native speakers we can interpret what something means differently. A great read for people wanting to discuss what better means for their work. Review: Lessons learned - Gawande exhorts us to write, and this is my first response. As a Cardiologist in training this book is inspirational. It is essentially a collection of essays on doctors attempts to understand and implement systematic changes to improve patient care. The discussion of what it takes to be the best rather than merely average is fascinating, and emphasised to me the importance of attitude and personality. There are also chapters covering how doctors should be paid, as well as the role of doctors in executions. These chapters are interesting, but don't really add to the central theme that we should all endeavour to try harder. The book will change what I do, and you cannot get higher praise than that. An essential read for any doctor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1861976577 | | Best Sellers Rank | 65,559 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 128 in Account Books & Journals | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,801) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 1.7 x 19.8 cm | | Edition | Main | | ISBN-10 | 9781861976574 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1861976574 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | 27 Mar. 2008 | | Publisher | Profile Books | ## Images ![Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uh71CSXWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clever insight into a topic I thought I already knew! *by J***K on 27 October 2014* What does the term 'better' mean to a surgeon?
