The education of a surgeon

The Education of a Surgeon is one surgeon's view of how medicine has progressed through several centuries. However, one problem is that it does not mention several major events, including Medicare. Also, some paragraphs seem written expressly for the nonphysician, whereas others clearly require medical education. Some heroes go unnamed or ignored. The importance of the hemostat is noted, but not that it was made practical by Jules- Émile Péan who introduced a toothed locking mechanism in the handle.
