Winner of the Borders Original Voices Award for Nonfiction in 2002.

In gripping accounts of true cases, surgeon Atul Gawande explores the power and the limits of medicine, offering an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge. Complications lays bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is - uncertain, perplexing, and profoundly human.
"Complications" is a 2002 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.
