We look for medicine to be an orderly field of knowledge and procedure. BUT IT IS NOT. It is an imperfect science, an enterprise of Constantly Changing Knowledge, Uncertain Information, Fallible Individuals, and at the same time Lives on the Line. There is science in what we do, yes, but also Habit, Intuition, and sometimes PLAIN OLD GUESSING. The gap between what we know and [what] we aim for persists. And this gap complicates everything we do. - Atul Gawande. Complications: A Surgeons Notes on an Imperfect Science
