Straightjacket
This is a lightning-fast paced story of a young surgery resident at the end of his rope when he discovers that he has not performed enough surgery to meet the requirements for certification. His world is crumbling around him as he falls in love with a nurse who has problems of her own.
With plenty of sarcastic one-liners, he is lean, mean and cold who doesn’t give a whit for the bean counters, but cares about his patients.
The story shows a powerful image of a man who refuses to let injustice take over. He is literally the hero that every red-blooded male wants to be - calm, cool, in control, and able to snag the babes when he wants to.
Although a maverick himself with no patience for stupidity; he believes in the medical system - flaws and all. This is a medical suspense adventure.
By Richard E Sall who is a practicing physician in Central California. Originally from Detroit, he is a general surgeon who, after completing his surgical residency, went on to become Board Certified in both Medicine and Surgery. He began writing a few years ago.


Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science
A collection of stories about his surgical residency and the struggles of being human in a profession where recognition of human weakness in oneself is not always seen as a positive.
By Atul Gawande who was a surgical resident at a hospital in Boston and a staff writer on medicine and science for The New Yorker. He received his MD from Harvard.

The Making of a Surgeon
Dr. Nolen takes us through the surgical residency and introduces us to the very real world where he was intern and chief resident for five years: New York's Bellevue State Hospital. Funny, compassionate, sometimes tragic, Nolen provides an intimate view of life in the wards, labs and operating rooms of a great hospital.
By William A. Nolen, a surgeon and writer, who worked in Litchfield, Minnesota, a town of five thousand people in the middle of the midwestern prairie, where he resumed his real identity: "Doc Nolen."

Mortal Lessons: Notes on the Art of Surgery
A thoughtful, introspective recollection of a surgeon’s own experiences. Commonly thought of as distant, unfeeling practitioners, this book humanizes the entire profession with recollections of patients, cases, fellow doctors, and the human body.
By Richard Selzer who is a surgeon with a poet's ear for language. Even when writing about the liver or amputation of a diabetic foot, he can make the reader see the beauty and the wonder of the body.
