BOOKS: "THE HEALING BLADE:A TALE OF NEUROSURGERY
REVIEW: From Publishers Weekly
In a splendid, often riveting account of high-tech procedures and personalities at the forefront of modern brain surgery, Sylvester ( Target: Cancer ) takes readers into the famed Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix, Ariz. There a staff of elite surgeons, led by director Robert Spetzler and equipped with the latest image-scanning machines and measuring techniques, pushes the frontiers of neurosurgery. The author's precise prose and apt imagery bare the interaction between staff members and patients linked by this exact and problematic surgery, illuminating the NASA-like preparation and teamwork involved in such procedures as hypothermic arrest, when the patient's blood is first chilled and then drained from his body for up to an hour. Focussing on Spetzler and the demands of his work, Sylvester offers an immediate, thorough and lucid chronicle.
REVIEW: Tara Todtenbier (Scottsdal) Former patient of of Dr. Spetzler and Barrow, 8/20/02
"This book gives a compelling and realistic look into Barrow Neurological Institute and its leader, Dr. Robert Spetzler. And I should know.
I was on Dr. Spetzler's operating room table less than two years ago and am yet another of his miracles.
Anyone considering any kind of neurological surgery should read this book before doing anything."
