A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

"[Henry Jay Przybylo's] professional memoir Counting Backwards puts him within the esteemed company of other surgeon writers, such as the London neurosurgeon Henry Marsh and America's Atul Gawande." i paper

In Counting Backwards, Dr. Henry Jay Przybylo an anesthesiologist with more than thirty years of experience has written an unforgettable account of the routine procedure's daily dramas and fundamental mysteries. Przybylo has administered anesthesia more than 30,000 times in his career erasing consciousness, denying memory and immobilizing the body before reversing all of these effects on newborn babies, screaming toddlers and sullen teenagers, his own son and even a gorilla. With compassion and candour, he weaves his experiences into intimate stories that explore the nature of consciousness, the politics of pain relief and the wonder of modern medicine.

Through its intense and humane tales of mistakes, near-disasters, life-saving successes and moments of grace, Counting Backwards shines a light on one of the most fascinating but unexplored corners of the medical world.
