It is easy to read and designed to be used alongside training and stimulate interesting conversations during the surgical debrief, best served with coffee. “There are endless books about surgical technique, but a woeful lack of information on how to be a surgeon. This book helps fill that gap.” Prof Andrew Luff MA, MBBS, FRCS, FRCOphth Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon “I am convinced that it will not only appeal to the surgeons for which it was written but to a wider public as well.
