Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery: Great Saves - Softcover

Written by a very experienced cardiac surgeon...one can learn a great deal from reading this book because the incidents described come from a lifetime in the practice of cardiac surgery. A surgeon will accumulate this level of experience only after many, many years - yet here it all is, within these pages, for everyone to benefit. The author is to be congratulated upon his imaginative production. The book is certainly worth buying.
Saudi Medical Journal, July 1993
