At the close of a surgical operation, the surgeons take off their masks and talk about both profession-related and unrelated matters.

It presents many underlying secrets that are often not available to the lay public at large. The protaganist, a Canadian surgeon, is revealed in both his professional and private life, his avocations and romances, his family life, challenges, triumphs and defeats. Minor wrinkle to bottom edge of illustrated front cover else virtually as new. Excellent copy..
