Riassunto:

These short stories are set in the surgical service of a major teaching hospital. Each story explores a “few small moments” in the intimate space in which surgeon and patient, surgeon and colleague, or professor and student come together. The stories provide a loose narrative if read in the order printed. Read individually, each provides privileged glimpses into the surgical life. The book concludes with a section for students interested in pursuing a career in surgery. A short glossary of surgical terms rounds out the book.

Informazioni sull?autore: Carol EH Scott-Conner graduated from New York University College of Medicine in 1976 and completed her general surgery residency there in 1981.

She is the author or coauthor of nine major surgical texts, and the recipient of numerous awards. She is Professor of Surgery at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Dr Scott-Conner lives in Iowa City with her husband.
