Great Book by a Great Surgeon by P. Duggan (South Florida) 5 Stars
May 04, 2005
I've read the book and had surgery on my back by Dr. Jarolem about 2 weeks ago. I'm ordering extra copies of the book to hand out to friends and family who have back trouble. This book makes a complicated subject easy to understand.
Since this book was written, a new procedure has been developed which has made my surgery much less invasive and painful. The recovery so far has been very quick and everyone is amazed! His web site, www.DrJarolem.com, explains the new procedure and is also very helpful.

Finally a clear explanation of important back issues by Robert Breslau (Davie, FL USA) 5 Stars
January 17, 2003
I have been operated on twice on my back, and I wish this book was available years ago. Back surgery is a complicated process and it is difficult for a patient to look at a MRI image that the doctor is looking at, and even with explanations from the doctor, to understand. This book clearly and simply explains all surgical options, the pro's and con's and the risks involved with each. It also describes the likley hood of side effects. It also has sample images from MRI's, CT scans and X rays to show you a picture of the problems, with clear labeling. The key , I think, is that it helps you better undersatnd your problem and to communicate intelligently with the surgeon about your condition. I recommend to anyone who may may considering surgery!
