I thought this book was fascinating and a little disheartening at the same time--the amount of resistance to checklists in the medical field* is frightening.
And I loved how Gawande wrote about everything in the book--he could seriously make anything interesting (I especially liked the parts about chefs, since a lot of writing about professional chefs focuses on the Genius and Innovation and not on how they turn out consistently good food night after night).
*I originally typed "medieval field," oops. *facepalm*
