Dr Gordon Murray's Medical Writings -- $tNotes -- $tA Note on Sources -- $tIndex 330 $aShelley McKellar's Surgical Limits chronicles the life of one of Canada's most prominent and controversial surgeons, Gordon Murray (1894-1976). McKellar examines candidly and critically the career successes and failures of Gordon Murray, discussing Murray's surgical ingenuity and skill, and how he saved numerous lives through his advances in heart and vascular surgery, his experimental cancer treatment, and his development of a kidney dialysis machine. She also chronicles the 1967 spinal cord controversy, in which he claimed to have reversed paralysis, and the resulting theatrics surrounding the apparent recovery from paralysis of Bertrand Proulx. Murray's determination to challenge the limits of surgery and medicine, McKellar argues, produced noteworthy clinical accomplishments yet also ultimately led to the fall of his career through hubris, poor judgement and his perception of persecution from his colleagues.McKellar skilfully blends a discussion of Murray's personal and professional life with a cogent analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of his research. At the same time, the biography extends beyond the individual surgeon to larger issues relating to the limits of surgery, the modern medical research endeavour, the surgical character and culture, and the rising power and authority of the surgeon. By presenting the controversial figure of Gordon Murray within the context of the development of Canadian medicine and surgical practices, McKellar's exceptional biography of an extraordinary surgeon makes a major contribution to the history of modern surgery. 606 $aSurgeons$zCanada$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSurgeons 676 $a617/.092 700 $aMcKellar$b Shelley$01028253 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455944003321 996 $aSurgical limits$92444196 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01445nam 2200337Ia 450 001 996394189603316 005 20200824121711.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000114896 035 $a(EEBO)2248522537 035 $a(UnM)99896650e 035 $a(UnM)99896650 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000114896 100 $a19981124d1697 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 14$aThe divine art of prayer$b[electronic resource] $eContaining the most proper rules to pray well: With divers meditations and prayers suitable to the several necessities of Christians, in their differing states of life.
