Nuestros sistemas médicos no funcionan bien. Los doctores son capaces de tratamientos extraordinarios (y caros), pero están perdiendo su enfoque principal: brindar tratamiento a las personas. El doctor y escritor Atul Gawande sugiere que nos detengamos un momento y observemos nuevas maneras de hacer medicina: con menos temerarios y más equipos de boxes.
