Complications

First I have to say, "Thank you, Chelsi for giving us something interesting to read!" This is the first time this semester that I've actually enjoyed the assigned reading from any of my classes. I had to make myself put it down and read my History text.
I have been on the patient end of the medical profession more times than I care to count. It was interesting to things from a doctor's view point, and refreshing that he spoke so candidly about things that the medical profession as a whole tries to keep quiet. If all doctors (and patients) were that honest the health care system in this country would be a lot better off.
When I first started reading the book I was impressed with how well Atul Gawande switched from one writing style to another. I would be reading a page and think, "Wait a minute, he just switched from narrative to ethnographic there." and he did it so well, it didn't lose flow or cause confusion.
After a while I just read it because it was interesting and quit watching for all of the different writing styles. I have less than 30 pages left to go and will probably read it again before the semester is over.
So once again, Thank you Chelsi.
