Pediatric Surgery by Keith Ashcraft
Excelente livro, de fácil leitura, condutas atualizadas. Um livro que deve estar na estante de todo cirurgião pediátrico.

I knew Mr. Ronald J. Sharp
When I was in the Army, at the 545th Ord. Co., I knew Dr. Ronald J. Sharp, and he was the best Doctor one could every hope for. We had an emergency, l975 or 76, and he flew in to take charge of a patient that blew half his face away with an M16 rifle; thanks to him he survived, I was the NCOIC in charge that evening, of the Nuclear Site in West Germany. Now I'm married and live in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Lima, Peru with my wife Rosa Penaloza, my name is Dennis L. Siluk, an author of some 19-books. But his books are sure the best, no doubt....

Better than read it, only helping Dr. Ashcraft in a surgery
I am a Pediatric Surgery, and a Professor of Pediatric Surgery at ULBRA ( Brasilian Luteran University)- at Porto Alegre, Brazil. This book will be the #1, as Recommended Bibliography for all Medical students, because it is clear, didactic, and have a lot of good figures. My only dream is to buy it at a better price, exclusive for Third World Nations.
