Many years of unique surgical training and practice take him on a prolonged journey that encompasses challenges and opportunities in Southern Africa, England, United States and Israel. Written from an insider's vantage point, "Threads of Destiny" provides a thoughtful account of medical education and describes interesting clinical challenges that ring with verisimilitude and drama.

From 1987 to 1990, author Dr. Richard Moss traveled extensively through Asia while working as a cancer surgeon in four different countries including Thailand, Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. His work was voluntary, however the “payoff” was in the rich, fascinating, and, often bizarre experiences he had both as a surgeon and wanderer. Based on this three-year excursion, A Surgeon’s Odyssey delves into the true-to-life adventures, struggles, and quandaries of a young surgeon from humble beginnings who found himself in a strange and tragic but beautiful world, striving to save those suffering from horrifying disease under hellish circumstances. In this memoir, Moss shares his story that includes insights into life, other cultures and religions, and the tragedy of intolerable disease amidst destitution and scarcity. A Surgeon’s Odyssey tells of a young man’s decision to forgo comfort and financial security for the adventure of a lifetime, pitting himself against the specter of overwhelming suffering and illness. It narrates the unique journey of a cancer surgeon who, against conventional wisdom, embarked on a pilgrimage of healing and experienced surgical triumphs and setbacks amidst some of the most beguiling and fascinating cultures in the world.

Winner of the Alan Paton Award and the South African Booksellers Choice Award Jonathan Kaplan has been a hospital surgeon, a flying doctor, a ship's medical officer and a battlefield surgeon. He has worked in places as diverse as Burma, Kurdistan, America, Mozambique, England and Eritrea. The Dressing Station presents a vivid, moving account of the varied faces of medicine he has encountered. In a mixture of reportage, confession and exposition Kaplan talks about the practice of medicine and of its shortcomings, because medicine is not always benign or balanced. At its extremes it is a process of treating the casualties, for life is a war, and being a doctor is serving in that war. 'His account is born of two talents: to save lives and to bear witness. The result is a unique mixture of biography and reportage, both personal and clinical' Time Magazine

Autobiography is the venue that this retired general surgeon has taken to describe the medical evolution of the 20th century physician. Born, reared, & schooled in metropolitan Washington, D.C., the author explains how events displaced him from his comfortable nurturing & abruptly thrust him into adventures befitting Marco Polo. Educated in the pre-antibiotic & ether drip anesthesia era, the author was witness to the dramatic changes in the next 40 years. Guadalcanal at the beginning of WWII & subsequently the Philippines were his practical training in emergency, tropical, & military medicine. After the war, the reader shares the author's four strenuous years of surgical training & subsequent busy private practice. Sabbaticals to Afghanistan, the Soviet Union, & Saigon on missions of both mercy & education arevividly described. Photographs are couched in several parts of the book, showing some scenery, personal touches & graphic details of some less than pleasant times. For the sons & daughters of the author's era, reading the book is an education in our medical heritage.

Having witnessed the birth of a number of innovations which were initially heralded as the final solution to the replacement of the arthritic hip, but soon to be found wanting and then replaced by either improved or new techniques or implants, were lessons of great importance. To ignore the continuous evolution of hip surgery and to assume that we have finally found a permanent solution is not only wrong but rather naïve. It will be a long time before perfection is attained. This is why, I have structured this book in a manner that identifies the likely reasons for the failures of so many different approaches to the "hip problem" hoping that our enthusiasm with "new" techniques will be tempered by the lessons of history.
