" What sort of cases are those which, most clearly, a surgeon remebers? This book of case histories by George Sava suggests an answer to that question. In terms of organs and limbs, and in terms of people, the cases described and recorded here are as varied as any reader could wish. At the same time, as his Prologue and Epilogue and his commentaries show, each of them had something in common which presented the surgeon-author with a particular dilemma. It was not the consideration of the human factor, although this weighed heavily on his mind. It was the fact that these were all cases for which no clear-cut solution was to be found either in the textbooks or the canons of professional practice. " -- dust wrapper blurb. First Edition.
