the latest information on forty-four

candid discussions of what to expect after
surgery include positive and negative

a glossary of medical terms.
"The

is
an indispensable resource for coping
with surgery and dealing with the
medical system. The writing
style is easy to understand, and the
patient comments add a personal
touch from the author's experience
as a nurse. I recommend this
book for anyone who wants current,
accurate information about surgery."
