Surgery under local anaesthetic by the travelling surgeon Dr Naga.: Ambulatory surgery under local anaesthetic by Dr Naga Thein Hliang. Dr Naga walked - Paperback

by Heiko Rudolph (Editor), Gregory Kleiman (Author)

Dr Thein Llaing performed surgery in the Nagaland hills using only a local anaesthetic. He operated on his patients while they were conscious, sometimes asking them to sing or speak. Thus he obtained useful feedback which helped in the operation. He walked from village to village performing hundreds of goiter operations and removing 'bumps and lumps'. This is his story starting 1965. The before and after photos clearly show the results he obtained. This book is dedicated to his work, his methods and his wisdom in the hope that others follow his path. - Gregory Kleiman, Heiko Rudolph.
