Gawande uses examples from his own experiences to explain how medical professionals can be competent and more than competent. He describes that medical practitioners are competent when they are knowledgeable about diseases and when they can perform medical procedures. In the excerpt, Gawande demonstrated his competence by showing his ability to follow another internist’s instructions and by performing appropriate procedures for a “seventy-something-year-old Portuguese woman had been admitted because…she didn’t feel too good.” Gawande had not noticed that her condition was particularly strange.

The emergency medical technicians take her blood pressure and shine lights in her eyes, calling her name. She doesn’t respond, appearing dazed and lying there motionless on the couch, her hand no longer trembling with that recognizable palsy.

This writing was very interesting to read because it helped me realize the little things in life.…

The different variations of everyone’s truth is dependent on that person’s knowledge. Around the spiral of truth is everyone’s perception of truth.…
