About The Book

"Better" by Atul Gawande, translated into Marathi by Suniti Kane, is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration into the complex world of modern medicine — where every decision can mean the difference between life and death. A New York Times bestseller, this book captures the universal struggle for excellence, especially in professions where stakes are unimaginably high.

Gawande draws from gripping real-life experiences — from battlefield operating rooms in Iraq to delivery rooms in Boston, and from polio eradication efforts in India to heated malpractice trials in courtrooms — to explore how medical professionals strive to bridge the gap between good intentions and great outcomes.

Highlights of the Book:

• Reveals how doctors tackle fatigue, limited resources, and human error.

• Discusses ethical quandaries such as participation in lethal injections.

• Reflects on the influence of money in healthcare.

• Shares eye-opening insights on practices like hand washing and its controversial history.

• Offers honest reflections from Gawande’s own surgical career.

Blending storytelling with sharp insight, Better is much more than a book about medicine—it's an inspiring narrative about how diligence, ethics, and ingenuity drive progress in any field. Perfect for readers interested in medical science, healthcare systems, ethical dilemmas, or simply what it means to do one’s best.
