After All, It's Only Brain Surgery (Hardcover)

In this fascinating memoir of his fifty-plus years as a neurosurgeon, Dr. William H. Bloom takes readers behind the scenes to the lives of many of his most remarkable cases. From the fellow who ran to the emergency room with a four-inch blade through his skull to the dignity of Mrs. J. Paul Getty faced with the critical illness of her young son, Dr. Bloom combines sensitivity and grace with equal doses of humor and humanity in relating his amazing experiences. Dr. Bloom presents each case with the compassionate insight that was often the difference between life and death for his patients.
