- Synopsis
- In the ER, the OR, and in the waiting room where the doctors deliver heart stopping news to the families of their patients, a neurosurgeon&’s apprenticeship is arduous. This memoir of the day-to-day experiences of a resident in neurosurgery at one of the nation&’s busiest trauma centers provides a rare window into the training of the doctors who open patients&’ skulls and operate on their brains and spinal cords. Paul Kaloostian&’s intimate account describes both the lifesaving feats and tragic failures that are the daily ups and downs of twenty-firstcentury neurosurgery. Kaloostian shares the lessons of humility, faith, and compassion that were often more important than the surgical expertise he acquired in the operating room.
