The Healing Blade: A Tale of Neurosurgery ReviewEd Sylvester has brought neurosurgery as close and approachable as my easy chair. He has managed, with a mixture of lyrical prose and white-knuckled suspense, to take us into the operating room, even down into the recesses of the brain where doctors are accomplishing medical miracles every day. Most importantly, Sylvester masterfully clarifies and explains surgical and medical principles that had, until now, been murky. For example, his few paragraphs on the cause of stroke made clear to me the malady that has claimed members of my own family, but whose fundamental causes were mired in wive's tales.
Not only does the reader follow the surgeon's tools beneath the surface of the brain, but Sylvester draws us into the competitive and demanding world of the neurosurgeon. From the earliest days of this surgical specialty, the men (women are only now beginning to get a toe-hold in the profession, Sylvester tells us) who have populated neurosurgery have been colorful, fierce competitors, seeking academic standing and popular notoriety in what is probably the most demanding field of medicine.
Ed Sylvester is a master of explanatory writing. But he also brings us so close to his characters and the life-or-death risks they face under the brain surgeon's knife that "The Healing Blade" reads like a thriller. Not a book to read in bed before retiring; it had my heart pounding and I more than once found that it was the wee morning hours before I could put it down.
