Item description from seller

Series: Surgical Psychology Series. 8vo. xii, 136 pp. Figs. Pictorial wrappers. Very good. A thought-provoking analysis of human decision-making and the results, some from error and some from better decision-making tactics. This book was the winner of a highly commended award in the Surgery category of the 2011 BMA Medical Book Competition. / "A vital and valid question that concerns many surgeons: how to make surgery safer" Is it by tightening the rules and imposing stricter protocols or by empowering surgeons to enable them to make safer and better decisions" This is the book for those who would choose the second option. Have you ever thought about what separates smart surgeons from the rest" Why, on the other hand, do some surgeons make errors despite having experience and knowledge" There is only one answer to both questions - it is their decision- making. Decision-making is an art and is at the heart of surgery. It decides between excellent and poor surgical performance. Although a vital part of professional activity, surgeons are not generally aware of how to optimize surgical decisions. Making a good decision is a skill that, like any skill, needs to be developed. This book reveals how surgeons can sharpen these skills. Presented here are the findings from decision science that surgeons, irrespective of specialty or seniority, can apply to everyday practice." - cover. / "This is a very helpful book, written in a friendly and accessible style. It provides many fascinating examples of the phenomenon which so interests us surgeons. Surgeons of all ages and specialties will find it helpful to know about themselves and how they are challenged." Mr Tony Giddings, Past President of the Association of Surgeons of GB & Ireland. [c174-277].
