Reviews
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
As observed by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Colen ( Karen Ann Quinlan , LJ 11/1/76; Born at Risk , LJ 3/1/81), this book tells "what really happens to patients when they have an operation... what surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and the various members of the operating room support staff do when they go to work each day." It focuses on the main operating room of the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York, where Colen was freely granted access to the hospital's 16 operating rooms and allowed to observe any procedure, ask any question, and record any event or conversation. The result is "an album of snapshots that together form a mosaic of life in the operating room" over a 24-hour period. This absorbing, fast-paced, and well-written BOMC selection is recommended for all popular medical collections.
