The Last Word by Yusuf Dawood concludes the quartet of the Surgeon's
Diary - in book format. The other three are Yesterday Today and
Tomorrow, Off my Chest, and Behind the Mask. The beautifully executed
stories in the Last Word are adorned with occurrences from the author's
extensive travels and medical experiences, some heart-rending and others
with exultant endings. Dawood's stories are lit with humor and wit that
make the myriad medical challenges seem surmountable. The stories though
appearing in the Surgeon's Diary are fresh and authentic. Just like in
the other three titles that form the quartet, the author has once again
used his scalpel and pen with prowess to bring real surgical drama to
our doorstep. Dawood, a celebrated surgeon and formidable author, has
authored The Price of Living, One Life too Many, Water Under the Bridge,
among others. The Last Word is his eleventh title.
