Download or read book The Surgery of Pierre Franco written by Pierre Franco and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only a few modern authors of surgical history in English have touched Franco. Only in Allbutt's wonderful little book do we find a generous account of Franco. Nicaise's Introduction provides the Reader with a biography of the author, who was a remote provincial surgeon, and a description of European Surgery as it was in his epoch. Nicaise did not limit himself to simple sketches or to a cursory review of the few extant items about Franco himself. He added a History of The College of Surgery after the 13th Century, and carried it until the Revolution of 1793. He notes with pride that his three Introductions and that written by Malgaigne in 1843 together are a nearly complete history of Surgery as it evolved in France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its development, from an ancient craft of magic and religion to a field of science and technology, surgery has inspired strong feelings--hope and admiration, fear and censure, but never indifference. Here, for the first time-- in The Illustrated History of Surgery--is a readable and chronological account, across the whole spectrum of world history, of the development of surgery and of the great personalities whose skill and courage paved the way for the modern surgeon. The book also includes information on the use of drugs, herbal remedies, early anaesthetics and a whole range of procedures related to surgery and its evolution. The text ranges from primitive surgery in prehistoric times to today's transplants and implants - with a glimpse into how modern surgery is likely to develop in the future. There are portraits of the great surgeons throughout the ages, detailed accounts of the milestones in the progress of the profession - the breaking of new ground and forming of solid bases from which the next generation of surgeons could advance to new and revolutionary techniques. The Illustrated History of Surgery is a beautifully presented book, with more than 200 colour illustrations gathered from around the world; it tells the story of surgery in a way that is both intelligible and enthralling.

Download or read book Complications written by Atul Gawande and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and courageous doctor reveals, in gripping accounts of true cases, the power and limits of modern medicine. Sometimes in medicine the only way to know what is truly going on in a patient is to operate, to look inside with one's own eyes. This book is exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is -- complicated, perplexing, and profoundly human. Atul Gawande offers an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge, where science is ambiguous, information is limited, the stakes are high, yet decisions must be made. In dramatic and revealing stories of patients and doctors, he explores how deadly mistakes occur and why good surgeons go bad. He also shows us what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable: an architect with incapacitating back pain for which there is no physical cause; a young woman with nausea that won't go away; a television newscaster whose blushing is so severe that she cannot do her job. Gawande offers a richly detailed portrait of the people and the science, even as he tackles the paradoxes and imperfections inherent in caring for human lives. At once tough-minded and humane, Complications is a new kind of medical writing, nuanced and lucid, unafraid to confront the conflicts and uncertainties that lie at the heart of modern medicine, yet always alive to the possibilities of wisdom in this extraordinary endeavor. Complications is a 2002 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.

Download or read book A history of surgery written by D. de Moulin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surgery as a medical discipline has from its beginnings appealed to the imagination of many. It is therefore not surprising to find that its colourful past has induced quite a few authors to take up their pens. The truth of this in the Netherlands is witnessed by a number of dissertations and monographs and especially by the numerous articles related to the history of surgery which have appeared in the medical weekly Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde, particularly during the two decades preceding the Second World War. The memorial volume, published in 1977 by the 'Nederlandse Vereniging voor Heelkunde' (Association of Surgeons of the Netherlands) has thoroughly covered the history of Dutch surgery since the tum of the century, but a chronological survey of the earlier events which led to these modem achievements is still wanting. This book has been written with a view to meeting this need. In it, Dutch surgery has by no means been taken as an isolated phenomenon, but considered in its context with European surgery as a whole. Foreign influences on the on surgery abroad are discussed Netherlands and, conversely, Dutch influences whilst contemporary medical thinking is set against a cultural and political back ground. It is hoped that this approach will allow the book to exceed the narrow boundaries of'campanilismo' and make it of interest to non-Dutch readers as well.

Download or read book Mortal Lessons written by Richard Selzer and published by HMH. This book was released on 1996-04-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surgeon shares true stories of life, death, and the human body in an essay collection that “will nail you to your chair” (Saturday Review). With settings ranging from the operating theater to a Korean ambulance, and topics as varied as the disposition of a corpse and the author’s own childhood, these nineteen captivating, wry, and intimate vignettes offer a poignant examination of health, humanity, and, of course, mortality. Sometimes tragic, sometimes humorous, the essays offer a physician’s viewpoint that goes beyond the medical to also consider the most meaningful issues and questions we face, whether as doctors or patients, cared for or caregiver. Praised by Kirkus Reviews as “an impressive display of knowledge and art, magic and mystery,” Mortal Lessons is a classic reflection on the human body and the human experience, and will resonate with readers for generations to come.
