Additional Details



Scarce and appropriately titled series of anecdotal collections compiled from accounts submitted to Dakin by practitioners around the world. "Every urologist, at some time during his career, encounters cases with such strangely baffling symptoms, such startling pathological conditions, or such weird operative findings, that he would scarcely give them credence unless he saw them with his own eyes" (foreword to first edition).
