Forgive and Remember
Managing Medical Failure, 2nd Edition
On its initial publication, Forgive and Remember emerged as the definitive study of the training and lives of young surgeons. Now with an extensive new preface, epilogue, and appendix by the author, reflecting on the changes that have taken place since the book’s original publication, this updated second edition of Charles L. Bosk’s classic study is as timely as ever.
