<p>I am a practicing surgeon and an author and have written fiction, plays, historical novels, biographies, medical books and a large collection of short stories on a wide variety of subjects.</p><p>One Hundred and Fifty-three New Pieces is a small bit of what I have to offer, and I hope you will these stories, visit my site, and peruse my books available online. If you tire of this or have a bellyache — I’ll be happy to remove your appendix. </p>
