J'incise

24 hours inside a surgeon's head. What goes on inside a surgeons' heads? What do they think about before going into the operating theatre? How do they cope with the fear, stress and exhaustion, but also the feeling of superpower mixed with adrenaline - everything that helps them hold out for hours during operations, behind their masks, scalpels in hand? Christian Debry allows us to spend 24 hours by his side in hospital. And it's not very restful! The tension - suspense even - when an inaccurate gesture can decide the life or death of a patient, the funnier times when the tension subsides, and scenes sketched straight from the wings of this unfamiliar hospital world. Everything in this book is true, and no surgeon has ever ventured so far toward sincerity and a search for meaning in this extraordinary profession. Christian Debry is a surgeon and head of ENT and cervico-facial surgery department at the university hospital in Strasburg. Incision is his first book
