Medicine is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line. There is science in what we do, yes, but also habit, intuition, and sometimes plain old guessing. The gap between what we know and what we aim for persists. And this gap complicates everything we do.

— Atul Gawande
It’s easy to make perfect decisions with perfect information. Medicine asks you to make perfect decisions with imperfect information.
