About the book

Fox (sociology, U. of Sheffield, England) explores why surgery is the most prestigious medical specialty, and why surgeons possess such great status and authority in western society. Based on interviews with surgeons, anaethetists, nurses, and porters, he concludes that the power comes from the techniques available to a surgeon. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
