Pediatric Surgery

CHARLES D. MAY M.D.

The dedication pays the tribute seemingly expected in this matriarchal culture by a nod to the wife and children "who patiently endured the preparation of this book." What a shameful excuse for not washing the dishes and changing diapers!

After this groveling start the author assumes his full stature and we have the benefit of his calloused self indulgence. Those who know the author away from his home consider him to be intelligent, forthright, confident and penetrating, but not dogmatic. These qualities permeate his book and make it a stimulating and balanced presentation.
