Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very entertaining book which may be easily read within a couple hours. I found myself laughing out loud at many of his stories, amazed by others and shocked by a few. As a young urologist in training in south africa, despite the technological advancements in recent years in the specialty, it is interesting to note that many experiences of surgical training remain unchanged despite the more than 40 years that have passed. I feel that this book may be enjoyed by medical and non-medical person alike. The author comes across as a very humble caring person - an unfortunately rare presence in the medical profession - with a great sense of humour. If you enjoy Atul Gawande's books, you should enjoy this.

This is the personal story of one man's medical experience in South Africa set in the context of apartheid and the HIV/AIDS explosion. Before his retirement, Johan Naudé was president of the South African Urological Association, and a renowned transplant surgeon sharing, at one point, an organ transplant unit with legendary transplant surgeon Christian Barnard. Full of poignant tales touching on controversial subjects such as racism and poverty, corruption in medical practice, and African political history, this is a book for anyone.
