Reading for Section II - Atul Gawande

A good place to start your Section I reading is with Atul Gawande. He has written 3 books, including Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science. Many of his articles are available online, for example at the New Yorker and Slate. Of special interest may be his article "The Cost Conundrum" which was used as an example in the US healthcare debate, as it illustrates a small town where the profit motive has taken over medicine.
