Fascinating read but.... While this book is really useful as a peek into the future for the future OR staff, the author is too prone to long winded tangents. I found myself skipping pages and pages just to get back to the point. A good read for anyone who isn't annoyed by getting off topic repeatedly.

Riveting!. A glimpse into a world most of us can only imagine. A must read that will keep you glued to its pages.

We are fragile. Being reminded of our fragility would have been entertaining in my 20's. In my 40's it's actually a bit scary. This book also reminds us that we're not very complicated and the tools we (still) rely on are a best blunt. Regulations will eventually cause more deaths than it intends. Jim Gioiosa

Confessions of a Surgeon. In addition to interesting stories of his patients, the author explains clearly in detail some of the recent changes in the medical profession. Why your doctor might not take care of you in the hospital, but instead turn you over the care of a "hospitalist". Why your doctor might decide not to accept patients on Medicare. Why the increasing regulations meant to reduce surgical errors are also complicating medical procedures unnecessarily. Why there may not be enough surgeons in a few years. Very clearly explained and food for thought.

Should read. Should be required reading before surgery!

Behind the Mask. This is a bare-bones frank account of a surgeon’s life on duty….worts and all. The physical toll on the doctor’s body and mind after perhaps an eighty hour week is immensely stressful and can impact the outcome of surgical success or unintentional mistakes. The surgeon lays it all out there with great pathos and accuracy.

A Must Read for all healthcare professionals. Compelling, informative, interesting, frightening at times, discouraging at times. I was unable to put the book down !

Very Good Read. This book was an eye opener and quite compelling to read. It was enough of an eye opener that I can ask the right question before surgery and request surgical documentation afterwards.

Confessions of a Surgeon. This book is an honest look at the life of a surgeon and how modern healthcare policy affects the role of surgeons in healthcare. Sometimes the author comes across as whiney and inflexible to the paradigm shifts occurring in twenty first century medicine. Sometimes the author pines for the "good old days" where he could haze newbie surgeons in the same manner he was hazed by his superiors. These shortcomings aside, the book should be ready every pre-med student as they "count the cost" of training for a career as physicians and surgeons.

Confessions of a Ssurgeon. Excellent insight and spot-on in communicating the joys and frustrations of General Surgery. As a general surgeon, I have had each of these experiences and emotions (with the exception of throwing the EEA device...I have wanted to). It's nice to hear that I'm not alone. An important read for general surgeons, patients and also for anyone who knows (and especially for anyone who loves) a general surgeon.

Confessions of a surgeon. excellent information really on target
