Que se passe-t-il lorsqu'un chirurgien cesse de progresser ?

Un chirurgien qui cesse de progresser est-il au sommet de son art ? Ou a-t-il faux sur quelques points essentiels ?

Ne manquez pas cette chronique bioéthique de l'incomparable Atul Gawande, chirurgien écrivain, auteur de Bestsellers et chroniqueur au New Yorker ... "Personal Best: Top athletes and singers have coaches. Should you?"

Nous n'avons pas l'équivalent d'une telle personnalité en France ... Voyez plutôt ce qui suit ... impressionnant ...

"Atul Gawande is a surgeon, a writer, and a public-health researcher. He practices general and endocrine surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston. He is also a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School and a professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health.
His research work currently focusses on systems innovations to transform safety and performance in surgery, childbirth, and care of the terminally ill. He serves as the lead adviser for the World Health Organization’s Safe Surgery Saves Lives program, and is the founder and chairman of Lifebox, an international not-for-profit that implements systems and technologies to reduce surgical deaths globally.
He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1998. He has written three best-selling books: "Complications," which was a finalist for the National Book Award in 2002; "Better," which was selected as one of the ten best books of 2007 by Amazon.com; and "The Checklist Manifesto." He has won two National Magazine Awards, AcademyHealth’s Impact Award for the highest research impact on health care, and a MacArthur Fellowship, and he has been named one of the hundred most influential thinkers by Foreign Policy and Time."
