All surgeons want to be better surgeons... They work hard to be
respected by their peers, appreciated by their patients, and valued
by their communities. Most of the estimated 200 million surgeries
performed worldwide every year go as anticipated, with positive
patient outcomes. However, the number of surgical complications and
preventable medical errors still remains unacceptably high. Why are
experienced surgeons still creating so many adverse events? More
importantly, what can surgeons do to better address the situation?
This book seeks to answer these questions. The book provides
pragmatic examples on how good surgeons can grow from being
technically brilliant to becoming empathetic and capable of
providing safe, compassionate, and more effective patient care. The
book follows trauma surgeon Philip Stahel's 20-year journey from
his 'rookie years' in internship and residency, to his development
as a global patient safety advocate, renowned academician and
teacher, and compassionate surgeon. The book touches on why our
current patient safety protocols and checklists fail to keep
patients safe and how a physician-driven initiative with credible
leadership is needed to build a sustainable 'culture of patient
safety'. Written for a wide audience and based on the paradigm that
"good judgment comes from experience which comes from poor
judgment", the book provides in-depth coverage of all the critical
and timely components of safe surgical care, relates practical tips
for improving the quality of partnerships between surgeons and
patients, and offers a practical guide on how to reduce the
learning curve to becoming a better surgeon.
