“Bartelme writes knowingly of the dedication of a valiant doctor
determined to change how modern medicine interacts with the
world.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Problem solving, improvising, and expressing compassion permeate
this unusual and fascinating chronicle.”
—Booklist
“A lyrical, inspirational and altogether rewarding account of
first- and third-world surgeons working together to perform
neurosurgery miracles in the heart of Africa.”
—Tom Brokaw, author of The Greatest Generation
“A Surgeon in the Village turns the modern philanthropic paradigm
on its head. In this inspiring story of cultivating medical
sustainability, Tony Bartelme teases out the human dimensions of
neurosurgery and illustrates how connection and mentoring have the
power to transform entire nations.”
—Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, author of What Patients Say, What Doctors
Hear
“This exceptionally well-written book, a compelling tribute to the
human spirit and to generosity, brings into sharp focus the
shortage of surgeons in sub-Saharan Africa. In poetic prose,
Bartelme describes how a dedicated and caring mentor can transfer
knowledge and neurosurgical skills to a Tanzanian clinician with
little formal training so that the latter can perform simple
neurosurgical procedures that save lives. This is a book that every
student and practitioner of global surgery will find enjoyable and
inspiring reading.”
—Haile Debas, founding director of the University of California
Global Health Institute
“In A Surgeon in the Village, Tony Bartelme deftly weaves history
and current affairs into a powerful story of redemption and hope.
This book is a page-turner that will leave you transfixed and
transformed.”
—James M. Scott, 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist for Target Tokyo:
Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That Avenged Pearl Harbor
