Summary
Details

A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure is a profound memoir by vascular surgeon Dr. Sherman A. Katz, chronicling his fifty-year journey in the rapidly evolving field of medicine and surgery. With gripping candor, surgical precision, and heartfelt wisdom, Dr. Katz reflects on the triumphs, challenges, and ethical dilemmas that shaped his life and the profession he devoted himself to. From the operating rooms of Mount Sinai and Cleveland to the complex evolution of healthcare policies and technology, this compelling narrative captures a vanishing era of compassionate, hands-on medicine.

A deeply personal and historical account, the book sheds light on the transformation from open scalpel surgery to robotic precision, from handwritten notes to electronic medical records-and the consequences of losing the human touch in the name of efficiency. A must-read for aspiring physicians, healthcare professionals, and anyone who values the art of medicine, this is more than just a memoir, it's a call to preserve compassion in modern healthcare.
