Synopsis

This book is a fascinating collection of articles that were originally published in medical journals. The author, a renowned surgeon, wrote about the evolution of surgical techniques over the decades and how his own views had changed on the treatment of appendicitis. The author shares a wealth of insights on various surgical advancements throughout his career, including the transition away from a reliance on antiseptics, the adoption of rubber gloves, and the shift towards preserving the patient's natural immunity during surgery. The reader will also find compelling arguments for rapid surgical intervention when the patient's life is at stake. This book will be an invaluable resource for any medical professional or historian interested in the development of surgical practices.
