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.

And this gap complicates everything we do. —Atul Gawande More about this quote Tags: knowledge science habit information medicine Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
