Kitchen Table Surgery: Tales from a Part Time Father, Novice Part Time Farmer, and Full Time Brain Surgeon

Enter the unbelievable; knee-slapping; and sometimes exaggerated life of Dr. Daniel Cooper; his "perpetually-pregnant" wife; their seven kids; and his career as a neurosurgeon.

Kitchen Table Surgery is a humorous memoir from Dr. Daniel Cooper: a full-time neurosurgeon; part-time novice farmer raising seven kids on a small farm with an almost always pregnant wife. The neurosurgeon had to treat his seven children for their multiple injuries and illnesses - or he would have to spend his whole life in urgent care centers!

Among the many stories chronicled: the removal of fishing hooks from nearly every body part; buying (and learning to treat) a sick horse; and how to endure the scourge of Mother Nature when you gather flowers and receive chiggers and poison ivy in return.

Readers will resonate with Daniel's seemingly always-pregnant wife; his children's trials and tribulations; and the funny family moments along the way.

Dr. Daniel F. Cooper received his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine and has practiced neurosurgery for more than 35 years. While his seven children and nearly always-pregnant wife may not agree that his form of Kitchen Table Surgery made life great; it kept them out of the doctors' offices and Emergency Rooms - and provided for great stories after the fact.
