Life on the Frontlines of Brain Surgery and Neurological Medicine
In this instructive report on advances made in understanding the nervous system and the brain that controls it, medical journalist John Paquette focuses on neurologists and neurosurgeons who treat the ubiquitous and enormously complex network responsible for our simplest physical and most vital functions and inspiring intellectual and spiritual accomplishments. He describes in authoritative detail today's diagnostic and operating techniques of CAT scans, angiograms, etc., and microsurgery which he observed, personalizing his accounts with portraits of individual doctors and patients.
