About the Book
|
|
In The Trouble with Surgeons, Dr. Phillip Gordon suffers a stroke and seizure while performing anesthesia during emergent surgery. Phil lives, gradually relearning to walk, talk, and practice medicine. He struggles with the roles of patient and doctor during his prolonged recovery. Todd Cunningham, an everyman of modern surgery, remains Phil's friend throughout. Phil discovers that the traits he mistrusts in his own doctors are the same facets he now sees in himself as an epileptic, part-time physician. At another dying patient’s bedside, Todd forces Phil to confront his fears, so he can transcend them.
