SC Public Radio's statewide network is experiencing intermittent outages and programming issues due to ongoing infrastructure upgrades. Our team is working to keep these disruptions to a minimum and to resolve issues that do arise. During broadcast outages, streaming on this site, the SCETV App, the NPR App, and smart speakers will remain unaffected.
NPR's Scott Simon talks to Atul Gawande, author of Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science. It's a book about the imperfection of medicine and the fallibility of doctors.
