{"product_id":"9781913755652","title":"The General Surgeon: Recollections from Four Continents by Moshe Schein","description":"\"Moshe Schein's life as a surgeon on four continents and his skills as a storyteller make for compelling reading.\" Abraham Verghese, Author of Cutting for Stone and The Covenant of WaterThis is a story of a 50-year-long surgical life, across four continents, and numerous hospitals - academic, community, and rural - in a few countries. Unlike the typical memoirs of surgeons, glorifying their accomplishments and paying tribute to our noble profession, this memoir is different: it's not written by a surgical `giant' or a famous scientific innovator; it doesn't tell the story of a surgical Paganini but rather of a surgical workhorse. It portrays a surgical career in the trenches, as it is, in stark colors, warts and all - topics that others prefer not to write or speak about - complications, malpractice, medical politics, and intrigue. Although `surgical' is its claim to fame, this memoir is aimed not only at surgeons or medical practitioners. Whenever possible, the author portrays events and persons against a background and perspective of the various times and places. The General Surgeon pays tribute to the author's brothers in the trenches - the humble, run-of-the-mill general surgeons worldwide.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308783513973,"sku":"9781913755652","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781913755652.jpg?v=1762809090","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781913755652","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
