I learned a lot from this book when I first started researching breathing years ago, and continue to refer to it today. Chris does a great job describing the wonders of the underappreciated and underresearched organ called the nose, and also the horrors of what happens when you lose the ability to breathe properly in and out of it. A detailed and engrossing primer for anyone interested in ENS. --James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art Invaluable reading for medical students, physicians, and non-specialist general readers, Having Nasal Surgery? is especially recommended for personal, professional, and community library Health & Medicine reference collections and reading lists. --Midwest Book Review Having learned to manage his condition he tells a compelling personal story that adds passion and authority to his presentation. Martin grants as his research shows that conservative turbinate surgery can often alleviate chronic stuffiness but his presentation implicates the many doctors and plastic surgeons who continue to remove excessive amounts of turbinate. --Clarion Review Chris Martin's book is a must-read for anyone with nasal problems so they, too, can understand ENS and avoid becoming an ENS patient. His up-to-date information can empower the patient to best therapies. --Murray Grossan, M.D., Author of The Sinus Cure and inventor of the Grossan Hydro Pulse(R) Nasal-Sinus Irrigation System. I applaud Chris' attempt to bring this critically important issue to the public's attention. If one person can be saved from the devastation this surgery can cause, he will have performed a great service. --Wellington S. Tichenor, M.D., Creator of award-winning website sinuses.com, and wrote the introduction for this book. Chris is addressing a tremendously important issue in otolaryngology. Empty nose syndrome is a real entity that requires further investigation. Although Chris' book is written for the general public, I truly hope my colleagues in ENT will read this book and take it to heart. --Steven M. Houser, M.D., ENT specialist, MetroHealth Medical Center, Professor, Case Western Reserve University, and wrote the foreword for this book. An ideal book on ENS...All nasal doctors should have on their shelves and be ready to pass onto patients. -- Les Chappell of BookReview.com His personal disclosures make the book very interesting...I cannot imagine a more comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand source of information. -- Paige Lovitt of Reader Views
