"In "The Scalpel and the Soul", acclaimed neurosurgeon Allan J. Hamilton shares his considerable knowledge and experience while baring his heart, soul, and passion both for his profession and for pursuing those unique patient occurrences that defy scientific explanation within our current knowledge of traditional Western medicine. His observations and insights push the limits of present scientific knowledge, as he attempts to bring some rational thought to the unexplainable. This book is thought-provoking and will inspire the average citizen as much as it will physicians and scientists."
