Action over inaction

You just have to be the type of person who believes that action is generally better than inaction in times of uncertainty.
- Atul Gawande, American surgeon and
author of Complications, the book that
inspired the TV series Grey’s Anatomy

This quote is from an interview with Gawande, in which he speaks at length about the failures that occur in medicine and surgery (e.g. misdiagnoses, failed surgeries, etc.). You can read the entire interview at http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/wellbeing/story/0,,2100870,00.html. Worth reading, and not only for Grey's Anatomy fans (I don't watch it).
