Surgical Philosophy (eBook, ePUB)

Concepts of Modern Surgery Paralleled to Sun Tzu's 'Art of War'

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book applies the core principles derived from Sun Tzu's timeless book Art of War to combating disease through surgery. It's goal is to offer principles, strategies and leadership guidelines for surgeons and healthcare practitioners who carry out interventional procedures for the ultimate aim of defeating illness and enhancing the care of patients. The book follows eleven sections of the Art of War. Each section reflects on its message, but with a modern surgical point of view. In the book, the role of the surgeon is equivalent to that of a leader or military commander, and the lessons offered in the Art of War are expanded to identify surgical principles and practice.
