"This is a poignant and moving narrative collection from women who each in their own way were pioneers in their field of surgery. The story of the courage, physical strength, stamina and, most of all, the mental fortitude required to complete surgical training is beautifully conveyed here. This collection will hopefully both inspire and make the path easier for the next generation of surgeons, both women and men." - Abraham Verghese, MD; best-selling author of Cutting for Stone, The Tennis Partner, and My Own Country "This book is an enthralling read. It is all too rare to hear the stories of surgeons, and even rarer to hear those of women surgeons. Yet here they are, told straight out, fearlessly, by residents and retirees alike. The stories are by turns funny, heartbreaking, flabbergasting, infuriating, inspiring-and at times all of these at once. Each voice here is singular and fascinating. But the collective effect is overwhelmingly moving. You want to hear more." - Atul Gawande, MD; staff writer for The New Yorker; surgeon; researcher; best-selling author of Complications, The Checklist Manifesto, and Better "An inspiring compendium of stories that challenged a generation and defined an era. Being a Woman Surgeon will be the archival account of the women who dared to radically advance the world's greatest profession." - Marty Makary, MD, MPH; Johns Hopkins surgeon; New York Times best-selling author of Unaccountable "An extraordinary collection of essays written by an even more extraordinary group of women, this book offers an unparalleled view of what it is like to be a woman surgeon. It is the book that I wish I had as a medical student and that even now I find inspiring." - Pauline Chen, New York Times columnist; surgeon; author of Final Exam-A Surgeon's Reflections on Mortality "Dr. John has carefully collected an illuminating anthology of experiential writings from women surgeons. Her contributors vary in surgical specialty, years of experience, and personal situation. This rich and literate collection will prove fascinating reading for anyone interested in the world of medicine." - Carol Scott-Conner, MD, FACS; surgeon; author of A Few Small Moments Dr. Preeti R. John is a critical care surgeon who works in Baltimore, Maryland. She is triple board certified in General Surgery, Surgical Critical Care and Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

"Here are the stories of a world-class surgeon who has been on the frontlines of medicine for over fifty years. In a candid, moving, and often funny memoir from behind the surgeon's mask, he recounts episodes in a life that stretches from his roots on the Lower East Side of New York City to the glittering international worlds of science and the arts." "A family tragedy touched off the young Cahan's desire to be a doctor. He studied at Harvard, expanded his experience in the Air Corps during World War II, and ultimately joined the renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. While his training introduced him to medicine's underworld of anti-Semitism, he emerged from it with a strong will to succeed and with an obsession to conquer cancer, which he calls the "ancient, guile-ridden, unsentimental" disease. In addition to developing innovations in surgical techniques, he detected a connection between exposure to radiation and cancer that led him to become a lifelong sleuth in the mysterious realm of carcinogens - and the tobacco industry's fiercest enemy." "Always, however, at the heart of his work are his patients. He movingly describes the intense and delicate doctor-patient relationship, which, although often too full of heartbreaks, frustrations, and failed dreams, is also marked by triumphs that testify to the curative power of sustained optimism and hope." "Dr. Cahan writes engagingly of the people in his life. Married first to the daughter of the legendary stage star Gertrude Lawrence, and now to Grace Mirabella, publication director of the magazine that bears her name, Dr. Cahan has counted among his friends and/or patients such well-known personalities as Alan Jay Lerner, Leonard Bernstein, Anthony Eden, Mario Lanza, Yul Brynner, Babe Paley, Melvyn Douglas, Hubert Humphrey, and Babe Ruth." "This book is also the story of Dr. Cahan's two sons: Chris, who chose a different career as a television producer, and Anthony, who followed in his father's footsteps but created an identity all his own." "The education of more than one surgeon is told here, drawing the reader into the operating room, the lab, the thinking, the politics, and especially the heart of medicine."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

From a renowned surgeon and historian with five decades of experience comes a remarkable history of surgery's development--spanning the Stone Age to the present day--blending meticulous medical studies with lively and skillful storytelling. There are not many events in life that can be as simultaneously life-frightening and life-saving as a surgical operation. Yet, in America, tens-of-millions of major surgical procedures are performed annually but few of us pause to consider the magnitude of these figures because we have such inherent confidence in surgeons. And, despite passionate debates about healthcare and the endless fascination with surgical procedures, most of us have no idea how surgeons came to be because the story of surgery has never been fully told. Now, Empire of the Scalpel elegantly reveals the fascinating history of surgery's evolution from its earliest roots in Europe through its rise to scientific and social dominance in the United States. From the 16th-century saga of Andreas Vesalius and his crusade to accurately describe human anatomy while appeasing the conservative clergy who clamored for his burning at the stake, to the hard-to-believe story of late-19th century surgeons' apathy to Joseph Lister's innovation of antisepsis and how this indifference led to thousands of unnecessary surgical deaths, Empire of the Scalpel is both a global history and a uniquely American tale. You'll discover how in the 20th century the US achieved surgical world supremacy heralded by the Nobel Prize-winning, seemingly impossible feat of transplanting a kidney and how the heart-lung machine was developed, along with much more. Today, the list of possible operations is almost infinite--from knee and hip replacement to heart bypass and transplants to fat reduction and rhinoplasty--and Rutkow draws on his five-decade career to show us how we got here. Authoritative, captivating, and comprehensive, Empire of the Scalpel portrays the evolution of surgery in all its dramatic and life-enhancing complexity and shows that its history is truly one awe-inspiring triumph after another.

A historical narrative, where surgeons and body-snatchers colluded and conspired because this was the only way the surgeons could get anatomical experience. This book tells the story of Astley Cooper (1768-1841), a tearaway young man from Norfolk who became a fiery radical and a brilliantly successful surgeon.
