Stab wounds and gunshots, ruptured bowels and appendicitis, broken bodies who arrive in search of healing.Every chapter ot the third volume of The Mystique of Surgery examines such cases, along with the thoughts and actions of surgeon David Gelber through his journey from naive medical student to seasoned, wizened and humbled surgeon. Through it all...The Mystique of Surgery......is, once again, laid bare.The snap decisions, which lead to life or death, followed by days and nights filled with worry as patients recover from complex surgical procedures are presented with all the sights, sounds and smells which fill the Operating Room. After providing his readers with glimpses Behind the Mask and Under the Drapes, Dr. Gelber now escorts these readers through Amazing Days and Endless Nights, as tales from the OR fill the pages and provide an insight into the heart and mind of a veteran surgeon.
