       | Michael Lewis.

           | Being Mortal is a fantastic book, especially if you have a

       | I am a fan. The book is great. You should all read it. I
       | appreciate medical professionals running checklists when loved
       | ones and I step foot in hospitals, and all other attention to
       | quality assurance in medicine.

       | That said, the surgical safety checklist is sort of the ultimate
       | "evidence-based medicine" slight-of-hand scam - if implementing a
       | checklist program does not reduce surgical complications that
       | would be prevented by following the checklist perfectly every
       | time, then they just weren't doing it right!
