Lyt når som helst, hvor som helst

Have you ever thought about what goes on behind the closed doors of an operating room? Douglas M. Gebbie’s THE OPERATING ROOM gives readers a unique look into the routine, and sometimes scary, events that medical professionals deal with every day. From questions like, who will be in charge? to what safety protocols must be followed? there are no mysteries here. Gebbie wrote this book in hopes to make patients feel more secure and alleviate their anxieties when it comes to going under the knife.
