Medicine changed a great deal in the 20th century, and Dr. Charles Douglas Adkins and his father witnessed much of that change as surgeons. Their lives as doctors are told by the younger Dr. Adkins. Included are his experiences with controversial issues such as malpractice, suicide, errors in judgment, medical ethics and duties, and doctors'' egos and avarice. He also recounts his own close calls, failures, and successes, giving the reader unique insight into a profession where life and death are at stake.

Whether you are a physician interested in the techniques, criticisms, and praises of your own profession or someone who wants to learn more about the lives of surgeons and the humor and tragedy of the human condition, Incision is for you!
