Books
New,old,used or still very useful
Are available
Your effort ,my dear,kind friends,
Which was my priviledge ,to be associated,
From the time we were children.
Some of them fromgrade 3 or 4[3rd class as we called it then,but really first class people,who made my life and that of countless others,
So happy
Content,
Gave there time ,money,,knowledge ,guidance,
So freely and for so long
Many of us started our first clinical exposure in 1960[remember Prfessor Milroy Paul,,one of the many great teachers who guided us,
And made us better for having had the priviledge to be associated]
He recognized my voice,when I went to see him,after he lost his sight[and I was not as close to him as many other ,more priviledged colleagues were]
From the list[and also outside the list]
Please help us to find out what we ca obtain in Sri Lanka too[our newly liberated hela nation of Lankans,with a continuing common heritage]
I bought a copy of Apleys System of orthopedic[at one tine there were 3 of us,in his program at Rowley Bristow/St Peters, Chertsey ,Surrey,where the primary FRCS course was conducted]
This book is affordable and good.
What is the cost of the available books in Colombo?
We can look ito the new or even used[current]books and share in the total cost[it could be an uneven sharing]
Many books ,procedures do not get old,just modified.
Eg CTS,is still mostly done the same way we were taught at ZRowley Bristow.
Hip,knee replacements,changed very little,
Back surgery,fusion,is hardy any different
HHH,hydeocoele, hernia, hemorrhoids, hardly different
But abdominal surgery,without the huge incisions,are different,
But the vision is great,
Many discharged the same or the next day,.
Psychiatry, forensic psychiatry has changed ,enormously,
With the ability to treat, control,
And cure ,many new disease entities,
That we could not do anything but manage symptom control,30-45 yrs ago.
Yet some of the psychiatric/psychological manifestations ,have not changed much
And their joint application,has reduced the morbidity,mortality,duration of the agonizing recovery much less,
And in more compliant cases,
Ability to keep people functioning,longer than ever before.
Many suggestions re computer,internet,
Electronic teaching,learning,
Understanding the new research,and their application,
Would definitely help.
The comments and changes made are allapprpriate
And should be incorporated, where ever possible.
We are dealing with the greatest input of medical,and specialixed knowledge,
Probably never before available in our recent past.
We can continue to do this as long as healt,
And other factors permit.
If my friends in the USA or Canada
Feels they have books[age really does not matter,if our friends feel they can be useful]
It can be collecyed here,in Cincinnati
And I will forward them
Or do via one of the Embasssy locations[we bear the cost]
But let us make it not too big.
We will decide on the address,
It could be mine
3475 vista av
Cincinnati
Ohio 45208
Or the Washington or LA embassy location
Lake house and other lankan location ,could be tapped locally and the list forwarded.
Magazines are not outdated,even after several years.
I had the americal journal of Psychiatry
And Psychiatry news
From 1969,
But can use the last 2-4 yrs[hopw I can locate them all]
