Better
The struggle to perform well is universal, but nowhere is this drive to do better more important than in medicine. In his new book, Atul Gawande explores how doctors strive to close the gap between best intentions and best performance in the face of obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable.<BR><BR>His vivid stories take us to battlefield surgical tents in Iraq, to a polio outbreak in India and to malpractice courtrooms around the country. He discusses the ethical dilemmas of doctors' participation in lethal injections, examines the influence of money on modern medicine and recounts the astoundingly contentious history of hand-washing. Finally, he gives a brutally honest insight into life as a practising surgeon. <BR><BR>Unflinching but compassionate, Gawande's investigation into medical professionals and their progression from good to great provides a detailed blueprint for success that can be used by everyone.

The Checklist Manifesto
THE GAME-CHANGING BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BEING MORTAL<BR><BR>Today we find ourselves in possession of stupendous know-how, which we willingly place in the hands of the most highly skilled people. But avoidable failures are common, and the reason is simple: the volume and complexity of our knowledge has exceeded our ability to consistently deliver it - correctly, safely or efficiently. <BR><BR>In this groundbreaking book, Atul Gawande makes a compelling argument for the checklist, which he believes to be the most promising method available in surmounting failure. Whether you're following a recipe, investing millions of dollars in a company or building a skyscraper, the checklist is an essential tool in virtually every area of our lives, and Gawande explains how breaking down complex, high pressure tasks into small steps can radically improve everything from airline safety to heart surgery survival rates. Fascinating and enlightening, The Checklist Manifesto shows how the simplest of ideas could transform how we operate in almost any field.

The Checklist Manifesto
The New York Times bestselling author of Being Mortal and Complications reveals the surprising power of the ordinary checklist.<BR><BR>We live in a world of great and increasing complexity, where even the most expert professionals struggle to master the tasks they face. Longer training, ever more advanced technologies-neither seems to prevent grievous errors. But in a hopeful turn, acclaimed surgeon and writer Atul Gawande finds a remedy in the humblest and simplest of techniques: the checklist. First introduced decades ago by the U.S. Air Force, checklists have enabled pilots to fly aircraft of mind-boggling sophistication. Now innovative checklists are being adopted in hospitals around the world, helping doctors and nurses respond to everything from flu epidemics to avalanches. Even in the immensely complex world of surgery, a simple ninety-second variant has cut the rate of fatalities by more than a third.<BR><BR>In riveting stories, Gawande takes us from Austria, where an emergency checklist saved a drowning victim who had spent half an hour underwater, to Michigan, where a cleanliness checklist in intensive care units virtually eliminated a type of deadly hospital infection. He explains how checklists actually work to prompt striking and immediate improvements. And he follows the checklist revolution into fields well beyond medicine, from disaster response to investment banking, skyscraper construction, and businesses of all kinds.<BR><BR>An intellectual adventure in which lives are lost and saved and one simple idea makes a tremendous difference, The Checklist Manifesto is essential reading for anyone working to get things right.

Being Mortal
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, The New York Times Book Review, NPR, and Chicago Tribune, now in paperback with a new reading group guide<BR><BR>Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming the dangers of childbirth, injury, and disease from harrowing to manageable. But when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, what medicine can do often runs counter to what it should.<BR><BR>Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering this dynamic has produced. Nursing homes, devoted above all to safety, battle with residents over the food they are allowed to eat and the choices they are allowed to make. Doctors, uncomfortable discussing patients' anxieties about death, fall back on false hopes and treatments that are actually shortening lives instead of improving them.<BR><BR>In his bestselling books, Atul Gawande, a practicing surgeon, has fearlessly revealed the struggles of his profession. Here he examines its ultimate limitations and failures-in his own practices as well as others'-as life draws to a close. Riveting, honest, and humane, Being Mortal shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life-all the way to the very end.

Being Mortal
#1 New York Times Bestseller<BR><BR>In Being Mortal, bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending<BR><BR>Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit. Nursing homes, preoccupied with safety, pin patients into railed beds and wheelchairs. Hospitals isolate the dying, checking for vital signs long after the goals of cure have become moot. Doctors, committed to extending life, continue to carry out devastating procedures that in the end extend suffering.<BR><BR>Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his profession's ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified.<BR><BR>Full of eye-opening research and riveting storytelling, Being Mortal asserts that medicine can comfort and enhance our experience even to the end, providing not only a good life but also a good end.

Being Mortal
AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 'A GOOD READ'<BR><BR>THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER <BR><BR>'GAWANDE'S MOST POWERFUL, AND MOVING, BOOK' MALCOLM GLADWELL <BR><BR>'BEING MORTAL IS NOT ONLY WISE AND DEEPLY MOVING; IT IS AN ESSENTIAL AND INSIGHTFUL BOOK FOR OUR TIMES' OLIVER SACKS <BR><BR>For most of human history, death was a common, ever-present possibility. It didn't matter whether you were five or fifty - every day was a roll of the dice. But now, as medical advances push the boundaries of survival further each year, we have become increasingly detached from the reality of being mortal. So here is a book about the modern experience of mortality - about what it's like to get old and die, how medicine has changed this and how it hasn't, where our ideas about death have gone wrong. With his trademark mix of perceptiveness and sensitivity, Atul Gawande outlines a story that crosses the globe, as he examines his experiences as a surgeon and those of his patients and family, and learns to accept the limits of what he can do.<BR><BR>Never before has aging been such an important topic. The systems that we have put in place to manage our mortality are manifestly failing; but, as Gawande reveals, it doesn't have to be this way. The ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death, but a good life - all the way to the very end.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER<BR><BR>The New York Times bestselling author of Being Mortal and Complications examines, in riveting accounts of medical failure and triumph, how success is achieved in a complex and risk-filled profession.<BR><BR>The struggle to perform well is universal: each one of us faces fatigue, limited resources, and imperfect abilities in whatever we do. But nowhere is this drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives are on the line with every decision. In this book, Atul Gawande explores how doctors strive to close the gap between best intentions and best performance in the face of obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable.<BR><BR>Gawande's gripping stories of diligence, ingenuity, and what it means to do right by people take us to battlefield surgical tents in Iraq, to labor and delivery rooms in Boston, to a polio outbreak in India, and to malpractice courtrooms around the country. He discusses the ethical dilemmas of doctors' participation in lethal injections, examines the influence of money on modern medicine, and recounts the astoundingly contentious history of hand washing. And as in all his writing, Gawande gives us an inside look at his own life as a practicing surgeon, offering a searingly honest firsthand account of work in a field where mistakes are both unavoidable and unthinkable.<BR><BR>At once unflinching and compassionate, Better is an exhilarating journey narrated by "arguably the best nonfiction doctor-writer around" (Salon). Gawande's investigation into medical professionals and how they progress from merely good to great provides rare insight into the elements of success, illuminating every area of human endeavor.

Con cura. Diario di un medico deciso a fare meglio
Atul Gawande racconta la sua professione attraverso episodi minimi, come quello della vecchia signora ricoverata perché semplicemente "non si sentiva troppo bene" e che dovrà la vita solo alla coscienziosità del medico che la segue; o di massima gravità e urgenza, come quando si trova di fronte ai corpi dilaniati dalla guerra in Iraq. Ognuna delle tre parti del libro è dedicata alle condizioni fondamentali per il successo in medicina, in una professione nella quale si deve costantemente progredire, ci si deve affinare, perfezionare. Il primo requisito è la scrupolosità, la necessità di prestare sufficiente attenzione ai dettagli per evitare errori e superare gli ostacoli. Una virtù che sembra facile, ma che è in realtà diabolicamente difficile e Gawande lo dimostra con tre storie: una sullo sforzo di garantire che medici e infermieri semplicemente si lavino le mani (una regola che spesso non viene rispettata); una sullo sforzo erculeo di eliminare la poliomelite nel mondo; e una sulla cura dei soldati in Afghanistan e in Iraq. La seconda sfida è quella di fare la cosa giusta. Per spiegarlo racconta le storie di quattro medici e un'infermiera che sono andati contro il codice etico partecipando all'esecuzione di prigionieri; si interroga su come è possibile capire quando bisogna continuare a lottare per un malato e quando bisogna smettere. E poi, quanto devono essere pagati i medici? Quanto si deve ai pazienti in caso di errori? Il terzo requisito per il successo è l'ingegnosità.

Essere mortale. Come scegliere la propria vita fino in fondo
"Alice per la maggior parte del tempo portava vestiti dell'ospedale. Si svegliava quando glielo dicevano, si lavava e si vestiva quando glielo dicevano, mangiava quando glielo dicevano. Viveva con chiunque le dicevano che dovesse vivere. Alice si sentiva in prigione, come se l'avessero messa dentro per vecchiaia". La caducità umana può essere un argomento infido. Si può innegabilmente provare una sorta di disagio ad affrontare temi che la riguardano. Ma se fossimo vittime proprio del nostro rifiuto di accettare l'inesorabilità del ciclo vitale? E se ci fossero invece approcci migliori, proprio lì, davanti ai nostri occhi, che chiedono solo di essere riconosciuti? Sicuramente la qualità di vita di anziani e malati potrebbe migliorare. Atul Gawande presenta e discute le principali difficoltà incontrate nell'Occidente industriale dai servizi assistenziali per gli anziani, e propone alternative. Nel suo classico stile equilibrato, lucido e coinvolgente, mostra come, per provare a migliorare la qualità della vita di persone molto anziane a malate, occorra prima di tutto interrogarsi su che cosa ciascuno di noi intende per qualità della vita così da accorgersi che ciò che rende la vita degna di essere vissuta non coincide soltanto con sicurezza e salute. Molte altre sono le sfide da affrontare quando il medico vuole fare meglio, e vuole far andare meglio le cose, quando ha cioè cura di ascoltare il paziente...
