Anotácia knihy

Cracking Chests is a tale of the origins and development of chest surgery-its inner workings, told by a prominent chest surgeon. Interspersed with humorous self-reflection are insights into the field's pioneers both in and out of the operating room, told with zestful detail about the challenges posed by their times, cultures, and the typically rudimentary state of medical science. We watch the trial and error of the development of chest surgery-gratefully on other patients long past.

 

The book helps us understand what it took to make possible today's safe and effective operations for lung and esophageal cancer, as well as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and other  benign disorders, suffered by many in modern times.

 

Cracking Chests, less a formal history than a story, is written for the curious general reader both passionately and factually. All technical terms are explained, often with fascinating stories and many with carefully drawn illustrations. It shows that there is as much drama and intrigue in the real surgical world as in the many movies and TV series that feature surgeons.

 

The author's experiences in medical school, residency training, and career as an academic thoracic surgeon provide a factual and poignant counterpoint to the book's tracing of history. Cracking Chests shines a light on the little-known academic side of thoracic surgery while offering insider's tales of interactions with many of the highlighted surgeons and their successors, as well as his own patients.
