MaladyLink: Surgery in the Postwar Years

UCSF Oral History Program presents: Surgery in the Postwar Years.

"More than any other category of clinician, surgeons throughout history have elicited responses from their colleagues in other clinical disciplines and from the general public, ranging from admiration and gratitude to resentment, envy and scorn. It is especially important, consequently at the turn of the twentieth century to go beyond the stereotypes and to document the clinical science of surgery in its full historical and human context directly in the voices of those who practice and research surgery."
