Description
“Under the Drapes: More Mystique of Surgery” takes the reader into the world of surgery and surgeons, exploring why they operate, while detailing a wide variety of medical conditions that lead patients to the operating suite. The interaction between surgeon and patient is also examined in humorous and poignant ways. Pitfalls of surgery, as well as miraculous recoveries are presented and discussed. “Under the Drapes” is an informative and moving follow-up to Dr. Gelber’s previous book, “Behind the Mask: The Mystique of Surgery and the Surgeons Who Perform Them”, which delved into the surgeon’s thought processes before, during and after a surgery is performed.
