Description:


For many complaints and conditions, the benefits from surgery are lower, and the risks higher, than you or your surgeon think. In this book you will see how commonly performed operations can be found to be useless or even harmful when properly evaluated. That these claims come from an experienced, practising orthopaedic surgeon who performs many of these operations himself, makes the unsettling argument particularly compelling.

Of course no surgeon is recommending invasive surgery in bad faith, but Ian Harris argues that the evidence for the success for many common operations, including knee arthroscopies, back fusion or cardiac stenting, become current accepted practice without full examination of the evidence. The placebo effect may be real, but is it worth the recovery time, expense and discomfort?

You can listen to Rob Kaldor interview Ian Harris for the Co-op podcast.

Student Review
This book is an excellent introduction to the basic principles of insurance. We used this text as a supplement in our Intro to Act. Sci. class. It is very readable, easy to understand. Minimal mathematics required, some basic calculus concepts used, but only briefly. Don't let it's small size fool ya, it has plenty of information in there.

Family sing along
Format: Board book
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, my great-grandchildren were together after watching an outdoor light parade sponsored by the local police, fire dept and EMT's. I handed my grandson the book to read to the 3 great-grandchildren. The adults were sitting around and before you know it, the adults were singing the 12 days of Christmas as my grandson read the book. What fun!

Too many gifts?
Format: Hardcover
Answers the question "Too many gifts?" Greg Pizziol's hilarious illustrations show chaos developing as Lords A-Leaping, Pipers Piping, Maids A-Milking, Swans, birds, drummers, etc. all arrive at Elephant's overcrowded home. A must buy for this Christmas.
