Description

This is a stunninglty well-written account of the life of a surgeon: what it is like to cut into people's bodies and the terrifying - literally life anf deathe -decisions that have to be made. There are accounts of operations that go wrong; of doctors who go to the bad; why autopsies are necessary:what it feels like to insert your knife into someone.
