<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>First job of the day was a quick check of the wards to look for any of my patients with the O sign: unconscious with an open mouth. Or worse, the Q sign: same as the O sign, but with the tongue hanging out to one side and no pulse ...</i></p><p>What does it take to cut into living flesh, get drenched in warm blood, and operate with only a 50/50 chance of success? </p><p>To know one wrong move might kill a patient.</p><p> Tell parents their child is dead. <p></p>And do surgeons cry when it all goes wrong, have sleepless nights, feel any guilt?</p><p> After more than thirty years in the profession, and twenty-five as a consultant, Kevin Lafferty tells it all.</p><p>Cutting It is a brutally authentic account of a life in surgery. Heart-warming, hugely informative, tragic, funny, and shatteringly sad in equal measure, it's an unforgettable read. </p>_____<p></p><p>"A candid and insightful book, warts and all. As a fellow surgeon, 'Cutting It' had me in stitches at times." - Lord Ribeiro </p><p>"A triumph. Not a word is wasted, not a page fails to entertain and enlighten... easily one of the great books on surgery." - Alex Wade</p>
