{"product_id":"9781949483802","title":"A Surgeon's Lessons, Learned and Lost","description":"John Raffensperger, MD, describes how doctors in the mid-20th century learned medicine in the autopsy room, the laboratory, and at bedside, training to become well-rounded general physicians. Since then, many doctors have specialized during medical school, depending on X-rays and blood tests, rather than listening and �laying on of hands.� Medicine became a de-personalized business, subject to greedy insurance executives and hospital administrators. �A compelling and candid account of how surgeons learn and refine their skills. John Raffensperger shares successes and failures, advances in medicine and surgery, the faults in today�s system, what we might learn from health care systems in other countries, and the pitfalls of hospital politics.� � Di Saggau, Island Sun newspaper, Santiva\/Captiva Florida �A candid narrative of more than forty years in practice and teaching of a pioneering pediatric surgeon, infused with historical perspective of medical education and medical practice � Dr. Raffensperger has done it all over those years, developing new procedures, teaching medical students and residents at the bedside, serving as surgeon-in-chief at a leading center for pediatric surgery, the Children�s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, and authoring books � His concern for patients� welfare shines through the book as he calls for fundamental reforms based on a single payer national health insurance.� � John Geyman, MD, Professor Emeritus of Family Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle �In the field of contemporary health care, it is generally acknowledged that Dr. John Raffensperger is one of the most eminent pediatric surgeons of our day� We are now lucky to see him produce a memoir � the portrayal of a life devoted to the care of sick children.� � F.
