Sydney reader said A revealing look at the life of a surgeon.. This is a great read. Kellee goes to some lengths to outline the hours and the dedication required to become a surgeon, as well as the academic hurdles. Not just about liver disease, though this is well covered in easy accessible terms, this book is an eye opening account of medical life to the lay person. Once you've read Kellee's journey through fourteen years of training, next time you have to undergo an operation you'll be far more confide. Great Book. Great read, This lady has no airs and graces about herself, and tells youhow it is and was for her and her family.Also inspirational for the younger who may desire a career in the surgicalfield, it was hard to put this book down.. Such a positive book Cath I read this book in two days. It is very readable and Kellee Slater is immensely likeable. It describes what the liver is for and how it works In a straightforward manner. The tales of the life of a surgeon are eye opening in terms of how hard they need to work but reassuring to find out that, although they use humour to get through the day, they aren't being callous about their patients.
