This book is a serial collection over the years, a selection of what I think others would like to know about a surgeon - authors life . I was thinking of others all the while I was engaged in this, as I truly believe that each of us gains our life only by giving it away, as displayed by all successful people, and exemplified very best by Christ . I wrote one book on HOW YOUR SURGEON FEELS, hoping the pun was obvious and I would get a lot of entertaining mail . Not so . So I began this book of poetry by relating how on my first psychiatrist's visit I inadvertently sat in his chair and only after three years when we were friends did he tell me the truth . We'll see if that changes the mail .
