Description

An interview with Atul Gawande

 

Seven years ago, Atul Gawande faced a crucial moment in his medical training. The student, who had never operated before, was observing an abdominal procedure when it came time to make the first incision. “The patient was put under, the belly exposed. And then, the nurse handed me the knife,” he recalls with a laugh, reliving the nervous thrill that went through him. “I picked it up and drew it across the skin. It was a lot tougher and springier than I thought it would be, so I had to cut twice.

Still, I was exhilarated,” he said. “There is something about the feeling that you are entering a world that others don’t get to see – and that slightly sickening feeling of sticking a knife into somebody.”
