This book was released on 1996 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It presents visuals that can be rotated 360 degrees, audio and text "captions," and some 200 animations that do, fairly successfully, convey visual conceptions of such activities as heart blood flow, smelling, hearing, breathing, etc. The product is carefully conceived, and will serve nicely as a novel supplement to introductory texts on the subject, for students who have access to the needed computer power. Available in separate Macintosh and Windows versions; needs 486 DX, Windows 3.1, 8 Mb RAM. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Assisting at Surgical Operations written by Comus Whalan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-17 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many superb books on how to do operations but there are few or none on how to assist at them, and none written either by or for medical students or doctors. Therefore, the skills that make an expert surgical assistant are difficult to acquire. Normally, they can only be learnt in a haphazard way, by spending years in the operating theatre. This book describes those skills in a concise and systematic way, in surgery in general, and in ten different speciality areas. Although intended mainly for clinical-level medical students and junior doctors, other people who assist at surgical operations, including general practitioners, nurse assistants and surgical technologists, will also find it useful. Whether planning a career in surgery, or simply aiming for high marks in a surgical rotation, there are few better ways to impress a surgeon than by skilfully assisting at surgical operations.
