"If you want to feel inadequate about your life, marriage, personality, skills, upbringing, attitude towards others, etc., Highest Duty is a great book to read. If you're a married man, do not let your wife read this book. She will rush out, buy a gun, come home, and shoot your pathetic substandard inadequate self in the head." book review philip greenspun

"NEWMAN, AUSTRALIA -- Here in this land of searing heat, scrub and eucalyptus, a land so vast that road signs warn the next gas station is 600 miles away, Mount Whaleback was once 1,500 feet high.

book kiv 2010 "Gawande begins by making a distinction between errors of ignorance (mistakes we make because we don’t know enough), and errors of ineptitude (mistakes we made because we don’t make proper use of what we know). Failure in the modern world, he writes, is really about the second of these errors, and he walks us through a series of examples from medicine showing how the routine tasks of surgeons have now become so incredibly complicated that mistakes of one kind or another are virtually inevitable: it’s just too easy for an otherwise competent doctor to miss a step, or forget to ask a key question or, in the stress and pressure of the moment, to fail to plan properly for every eventuality."
