À propos de cet audio
Essential, required listening for doctors and patients alike: A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and one of the world's premiere cancer researchers reveals an urgent philosophy on the little-known principles that govern medicine - and how understanding these principles can empower us all.
Over a decade ago, when Siddhartha Mukherjee was a young, exhausted, and isolated medical resident, he discovered a book that would forever change the way he understood the medical profession. The book, The Youngest Science, forced Dr. Mukherjee to ask himself an urgent, fundamental question: Is medicine a "science"? Sciences must have laws - statements of truth based on repeated experiments that describe some universal attribute of nature. But does medicine have laws like other sciences?
Dr. Mukherjee has spent his career pondering this question - a question that would ultimately produce some of the most serious thinking he would do around the tenets of his discipline - culminating in The Laws of Medicine. In this important treatise, he investigates the most perplexing and illuminating cases of his career that ultimately led him to identify the three key principles that govern medicine.
Brimming with fascinating historical details and modern medical wonders, this important audiobook is a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and "eureka!" moments that people outside of the medical profession rarely see. Written with Dr. Mukherjee's signature eloquence and passionate prose, The Laws of Medicine is a critical book not just for those in the medical profession but for everyone who is moved to better understand how their health and well-being are being treated. Ultimately this book lays the groundwork for a new way of understanding medicine now and into the future.

The Emperor of All Maladies reveals the many faces of an iconic, shape-shifting disease that is the defining plague of our generation. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance but also of hubris, arrogance, paternalism, and misperception, all leveraged against a disease that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out "war against cancer".

The struggle to perform well is universal: each one of us faces fatigue, limited resources, and imperfect abilities in whatever we do. But nowhere is this drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives are on the line with every decision. In this book, Atul Gawande explores how doctors strive to close the gap between best intentions and best performance in the face of obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable.

Short and helpful
Mukherjee provides excellent insights from a career in medicine and from his experience as biographer of medical history. Unlike his other books, this one is short and easy to finish!

Shedding light on an uncertain science
Mukherjee dissects open and reveals the principles of uncertainty that lie at the heart of such a consequential field, and in that attempt demystifies the experience of trainees and practicing physicians in navigating the dynamics of medicine. At points it is unclear who Mukherjee is speaking to, swaying from light commentary to the use of highly technical language. But mostly The Laws of Medicine succeeds in its endeavour to share the promise and the perils of what lies hidden behind the scrubs, tests, and equipment of 21st century medicine.

Problems identified but few solutions
A pretty good overview of the problems in medicine and medical research. Most readers of a research paper tend to take it at face value and never really consider whether the data found actually supports conclusions made. There are some very good examples here of how the same data could be interpreted in a totally different way. However after the problems are uncovered there are no detailed suggestions on what needs to be changed to overcome them. So I did not feel any further understanding from when I started reading this. Good, but it needed to go a lot further.
