Book Review "The Doctor Knows Best" and "The Blue Boy"

Book review "The doctor knows best";

Although American soldiers were injured only by bayonets and single-shot rifles in the American Revolutionary War, 42 percent of the wounded died in battle. During World War II, American soldiers were already injured by grenades, bombs and machine guns, but only thirty percent of the wounded died. By the time of the Korean War (...) The death rate on the battlefield has dropped to twenty percent."

Gawande also draws attention to the importance of an interpersonal approach in diagnosis and treatment, summarizing with a successful sentence: "In the fight against the disease, our starting point should not be intercellular relationships, but interpersonal relationships."

Although probably every doctor has his own opinion on many of the topics covered in the book, there is no book on the Polish market that looks like "Better". The author himself encourages colleagues to publish articles, write about their feelings and compare the results of their work with others so that medicine can work better.

I would like to see a similar book written describing the realities of medicine - we will definitely learn a lot of interesting things, given the specifics of medical care in our country. In conclusion of these few words about the book, I will quote the author with his characteristic expressiveness, rejecting the meaninglessness of some statistical data.:

"Many people talk about the line between what we can and cannot do in such a way, as if it were a bright line drawn on a hospital bed. The authors of the critical analysis point out the absurdity that more than a quarter of public health funds are spent on care provided in the last six months of life. Perhaps it would be possible to save all this wasted money if you knew when these last six months started."





Review of the book "Blue Boy";

I'm curious to see how my classmates will react when they see me in a completely different element, among people with a different heritage, with my heritage joyful rather than ridiculed. I wonder who I would be to them in a shiny white jacket and a bright red belt. Maybe by turning into a dazzling fogana lover, I can gain respect among my classmates."

The book is also full of references to American pop culture - and here's a small digression - the translator, for reasons unknown to me, decides to translate some song titles, for example, "Row your boat" instead of the well-known "Row, row your boat", some names (the meaning of which was important for the text, but they could be it is easy to explain with the help of a footnote), while the names of animated films and TV series, well-known and translated remain unchanged. Despite this inconsistency, a huge advantage is the explanation of some words characteristic of Indian culture (mainly elements of clothing), about which we will learn quite a lot from this book.

All in all, this is a good opportunity for me to secretly reveal the secrets of puberty, racial issues, and my own sexual identity. Readers who are drawn to this book will undoubtedly be richer in a new perspective-the prospect of growing up and finding their place in the world through the "Other."
