This book examines the background and training of those entering a surgical discipline. In addition, the development of expertise and judgement, that factors into the counseling of those where a surgical solution might be appropriate, is explored. Beyond that, the author became a patient several times, and those experiences are revealed, often in a humorous manner. Written for patients, families, healthcare professionals, medical students, and readers interested in understanding how doctors think when medical decisions become personal, On Surgery offers a perspective shaped by decades of medicine and strengthened by the realization that expertise does not eliminate vulnerability.
