![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a meditative book on medicine written by a surgeon, who is an insider on the matter. This is the exact essence of medical exploration: surgeons have to transcend various complexities and pursue perfection. Surgeons can sometimes be at a loss and find it difficult to make decisions when the factors that need to be considered are too complex to make a choice. It vividly captures the world surgeons are in a world full of uncertainties. The title encapsulates the complexities doctors face. The title of this book, “complications”, is a pun: it both functions as the medical term “complication" and the commonly used word “complication”. Today, this book is going to show you that other side. However, people don't have the opportunity to actually get close to them: to see their eyebrows furrow when faced with complicated medical cases, or to learn about the other side of both them and medicine. ![]() People often come to surgeons as patients who want to be healed. These impressions are certainly correct, but do not reveal the whole story. Whenever people discuss these topics, the first images that appear in their minds are angels working in white robes, clinics, medicine, machines, surgeries that fight diseases, and amazing scientific breakthroughs that could extend human life. In the minds of the general public, the terms “surgeon" and “medicine” are always associated with rationality, accuracy, and order.

When my young son inherited half of his great grandfather’s historic inn, I decided to move us both to the place where I grew up.

At least they got the location right, although even that's a bit of a joke. See, the twelve-dollars-each invitations spun the whole debacle as a “sending-off celebration for Olivia Elizabeth Middleton.”Īhem. Now, to be fair, the invitations didn't actually acknowledge the whole dropping-out bit.

He learns how to ride a horse, and sail a boat, and drive a steam train - presumably so that if he's travelling somewhere remote on a steam train, possibly Tibet, and the driver drops dead or kind of has his steam train taken away from him, then Charley can step in. "It's kind of a country that's been taken away from them, really." "I feel sorry for the Tibetans really," he says, humanely. Occasionally he will get involved, especially if it's on a matter of international politics. ![]() Charley skateboards round his office, while his team of people try to sort out visas and stuff. Actually, because this is the first one (of six!), it's mostly about the preparations. Heavens knows why - I think it's simply about boys trying out as many toys as possible.
