Download or read book Bodies for the Surgeons written by Hector Bryson Chawla and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edinburgh 1828 - a tale of two cities, the New Town, home to the elegant, the Old Town, home to the homeless and yet between them, home to the most famous school of medicine in the world. However that world could not yet boast any of those soothing securities that we take for granted today - anaesthesia, antibiotics, aseptic surgery, dental conservation and at, a simpler level, running water. A junior doctor, Sandy Webster, stumbling by chance on what we would now call an anaesthetic agent, comes into direct conflict with a senior doctor who considers it worthless and dangerous and in no need of any name but his fellow lodger and friend, James Simpson disagrees. His attempts to discover bodies for the anatomy rooms, take him to a remote graveyard and into the Grassmarket, where two enterprising Irishmen have access to a seemingly endless supply. A rival for the affections of Caroline, his childhood sweetheart, a Lord Provost losing his clothes in a spa opened by Carolines father, major surgery on the kitchen table, a hairy landlord straight from the Old Testament,s a Polish mesmerist and a lovesick horse weave around him a web of lunacy from which it seems, he can never escape.

Download or read book The Internet for Surgeons written by Jeff W. Allen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in surgery have reached an exponential scale, and the changes of the last decade of the twentieth century have become common prac tice. Imagination and foresight are the more visible standards for profes sional appointments than ever before. The fiber optic cable, computer, and Internet are the workhorses of this sea-change, and surgeons must master all of them to remain intellectually and technically up-to-date. There can be no better explanation for the genuine need for this book. The transmission of knowledge and technical skills from one generation to another has been a common practice in surgery for nearly 200 years. Past experiences of surgeons have focused upon an understanding of disease states, a prompt diagnosis of a correctable illness and its appropriate evalu ation, and most importantly, the technical conduct of an operation, where indicated, to provide relief to and/or cure of the patient. Fascinatingly, this little book tends to fulfill that same role with respect to the newly emerged technology of the Internet, computation, and telemedicine. In essence, this book seeks, and to a remarkable degree, achieves the transmission of both knowledge and technical skill in an easily usable and clearly written format. Jeff W. Allen has provided an educational orientation with which he is familiar, both as a recent pupil and now as a teacher of surgical proce dures. This is not unlike the kind of education that has gone on between trainee surgeons and master surgeons around the world. In this case, Dr.
