最年轻的科学

《最年轻的科学:一个医学观察者的手记(汉英对照)》是刘易斯·托马斯的第三《最年轻的科学:一个医学观察者的手记(汉英对照)》,是他对于西方现代医学的发展史所作的最切近、最全面的观察。他看他父亲行医,自己学医,做实习医生,随军,做医生,研究,领导科研和教学,参与城市卫生管理与规划,服务于总统科学顾问委员会,观察大学、研究所和医院,体察护士的工作和生涯,甚至还受过伤、生过病。对于今天预备做医生的人,托马斯是无法取代,不可错过的。没有他,你的专业教育将是不完整、缺乏高度的。托马斯是不可方物,无以名之的。他是一个医生、病理学家、教育家、行政官员、诗人和散文家。一个人,如果兼作上述这些行当,他就是任何这些行当所不能局限和定义的。换句话说,如果他是这些,他就同时又不是这些。那就意味着,他已经达到了这样一个高度,他的话,是对于人类有着普遍意义的,即使在他谈论着高度专门的题目时,也是这样。
When the Air Hits Your Brain

Frank Vertosick Jr. publishing house: W. W. Norton & Company 2008 - 3
With poignant insight and humour, "When the Air Hits Your Brain" chronicles a man's evolution from naive and ambitious young houseman to world-class neurosurgeon. In electrifying detail, Frank Vertosick Jr describes some of the greatest challenges of his career, including a six-week-old infant with a tumour in her brain, a young man struck down in his prime by paraplegia and a clergyman with a.22-caliber bullet lodged in his skull. Told through intimate portraits of Vertosick's patients and unsparing yet fascinatingly detailed descriptions of surgical procedures, "When the Air Hits Your Brain" - the culmination of decades spent struggling to learn an unforgiving craft - illuminates both the mysteries of the mind and the realities of the operating room.
