One of my favorite books on medical topics. Atul Guwande is a fantastic writer, knowledgeable, empathetic, just an all-around good read. The initial chapter on hospital-borne infections, hand washing, and the reference to the work on positive deviance and childhood malnutrition in Vietnam is eye opening. I've given away several copies.
