Rick Berke interviews surgeon/journalist Atul Gawande on the transformation of American health care, the New Yorker's famous fact checkers, and why writing is the hardest part of his job: "By far, the least stressful day of my week is the day I’m in the operating room. There are no phone calls, no email, you’re focused in one direction, and once you start, you have to finish. But when it comes to writing, any number of things can go wrong, and it can be neverending."
