Dardashah Ma'a Jarrah

by Khalid Rida Murshid, Dr Khalid Rida Murshid

This book, an electronic version of a previously published book which enjoyed wide acceptance and countless positive remarks, is written in Arabic in an attempt to fill in the deficiency in the Arabic library in health education books tailored to fit the simple layman. The book is written as a hypothetical dialogue between a layman and a surgeon. The layman asks, and the surgeon replies in a format similar to that occurring in a clinical setting. At the clinic, many patients either forget, or do not know the correct questions to ask. On the other hand many surgeons, unfortunately do not give their patients the time they deserve. In this book the author explains in simple terms, but with details, and in a step by step easy to follow manner, many of the common surgical conditions faced by patients, giving patients the chance to read in advance, or fill in the gabs about their ailments. In addition to the question/answer format, the book is also flavored with several colorful self-explanatory diagrams which assist in the process of patient education. Diseases, important medical terms as well as drugs are written in English beside their Arabic counterpart.
