ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I deeply appreciate the efforts of Adolfo Caso of Branden Books for his belief in my ability to write this book as well as my first book, Comprehensive Breast Care and Surviving Breast Cancer; in today's publishing world, “It Ain't Easy To Get A Book Into Print!”

Although the writing of this book has been solely my effort, I have valued the comments and reviews of the following chapters by their respective specialists:

“Orthopedics” by Dr. Kenneth Kengla,

“Urology” by Dr. Melvin Novegrod,

“Gynecology” by Dr. Charles Moniak,

“Neurosurgery” by Dr. Abraham Rayhaun,

“Thoracic Surgery” by Dr. Santosh Mohanty,

“Cardiac Surgery” by Dr. Himmet Dajee,

“Plastic Surgery” by Dr. Malcolm Paul,

“Ophthalmic Surgery” by Dr. Mark Bronstein,

“Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery” by Dr. Douglas Tran,

“Pediatric Surgery” by Dr. Ali Kaviani.

The illustrations have been masterfully done by Faith and Adrian Van DeRee, and I am indebted to them for their comments and reading of the manuscript. The cover design was done by Danny Berman.

Wanda Atkinson and Lena Bodnar have extended themselves in the secretarial work needed for this project. I also would like to express my appreciation to Marissa Saplala for typing and proofing the manuscript, and Quan M. Nguyen for providing computer expertise.

And finally, to my wife Andrea Berman, RN, OCN for her constant support and encouragement during the many months of writing this book, I am again eternally grateful.
