Blood and Bone: Revelations of an Orthopaedic Surgeon

Atuanui Press, Pokeno, 2022. Good secondhand condition.

Russell Tregonning finished his fifty-year career in medicine as one of New Zealand?s leading orthopaedic surgeons and as a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the Otago School of Medicine.

This memoir takes the reader through his journey from medical student to orthopaedic surgeon ? from introducing pioneering techniques in reconstructive surgery, to personal struggles with depression, medical mishaps, run-ins with senior surgeons, and sexism in the workplace. It is a fascinating look behind the facade of one of the most respected of professions.

?This book is a fascinating insight into a facet of life where very few venture. A great read.? ? Grant Nisbett
