Atul Gawande Quotes

A Study Led By The Harvard Researcher Nicholas Christakis Asked The Doctors Of Almost Five Hundred Terminally Ill Patients To Estimate How Long They Thought Their Patient Would Survive, And Then Followed The Patients. Sixty-three Per Cent Of Doctors Overestimated Survival Time. Just Seventeen Per Cent Underestimated It. The Average Estimate Was Five Hundred And Thirty Per Cent Too High. And, The Better The Doctors Knew Their Patients, The More Likely They Were To Err.
