The Way it was:Sex,Surgery,Treasure and Travel

For any mature surgeon(One whose training occured in the 50s or 60s) as well as any surgeon interested in the history of the turn of the century giants.would find it difficult to put down this book. The Criles,Barney and Jane were the perfect example of marital symbiosis,and their adventures are as exciting to read about as it might have been to have accompanied them.Great anecdotes of college at Yale.Medical school at Harvard and his professional career. Inspiring to say the very least. Privelidged to have known Barney as a Fellow during residency at The Clinic.
