Yes, here it is: AGawande (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/06/01/090601fa_fact_gawande)

More articles, including one on care at the end of life:

I'm going to post on POC but another great, great book is Siddhartha Mukherjee's Emperor of All Maladies. Here's a biography of cancer that's a page turner. A must read for beleaguered grad students also, for what it says about researchers trying to break new ground. It helped me come to terms with the death of a friend who died of a virulent form of breast cancer, but that isn't really why I read it. Can't recommend it more highly. A very different writer than Gawande with a very different project. Love them both.
