I am a fan. The book is great. You should all read it. I appreciate medical professionals running checklists when loved ones and I step foot in hospitals, and all other attention to quality assurance in medicine.

That said, the surgical safety checklist is sort of the ultimate "evidence-based medicine" slight-of-hand scam - if implementing a checklist program does not reduce surgical complications that would be prevented by following the checklist perfectly every time, then they just weren't doing it right!

This article was followed by a longer book. Recommended.

Being Mortal is a fantastic book, especially if you have a loved one with a terminal illness you're taking care of.

Fantastic read. Michael Crichton meets Malcolm Gladwell meets Michael Lewis.
