Synopsis
This book chronicles one man's evolution from a naive and ambitious young intern into a member of that singular breed of doctor--the neurosurgeon. Told through intimate portraits of the author's patients and detailed descriptions of surgical procedure, this title is a poignant, fascinating, and sometimes shockingly funny account of the mysteries of the mind and the operating room.

Publisher's Note
"This book should be read by every medical student, doctor and present or potential patient. In other words, by all of us."--Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine and MiraclesRule One for the neurologist in residence: "You ain't never the same when the air hits your brain." In this fascinating book, Dr. Frank Vertosick brings that fact to life through intimate portraits of patients and unsparing yet gripping descriptions of brain surgery.With insight, humor, and poignancy, Dr. Vertosick chronicles his remarkable evolution from naive young intern to world-class neurosurgeon, where he faced, among other challenges, a six week-old infant with a tumor in her brain, a young man struck down in his prime by paraplegia, and a minister with a .22 caliber bullet lodged in his skull. In candid detail, WHEN THE AIR HITS YOUR BRAIN illuminates both the mysteries of the mind and the realities of the operating room."Riveting."--Publishers Weekly

With insight, humor, and poignancy, Dr. Frank Vertosick chronicles his remarkable evolution from naive young intern to world-class neurosurgeon. In candid detail, this book illuminates both the mysteries of the mind and the realities of the operating room.

Industry Reviews
"Writing with humor and compassion, but without sentimentality, Vertosick shows us that neurosurgeons, those gods of the operating room, are humans, too. His book can be tough reading for those who prefer to keep their illusions intact."
Pearlstein
