Book Description

Most of the facts in the startling new book All White's Not White refer to author and surgeon Sisir Kumar Saha's experiences in dealing with the racial conflicts involved in medical care. The author took seven years to complete writing this book that outlines unfairness in the world in medicine. "My past experiences in handling the injustices incurred in all walks of ethnic people encouraged me to compile the facts in this book," he says. Dr. Saha was inspired to write about this topic because of his life's journey. Brought up in a poor Bengali family, "I was born in a remote village, where there was no school, no hospital, and no doctors. Now I am in a different world." The author has delivered prestigious lectures to the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Royal Society of Medicine of London, and was a guest speaker at the annual conferences in IMA, and also at the conference of Association of Surgeons of India. He has published many research projects on prospective studies since 1976 on various aspects of medical and surgical sciences. His works have been published throughout the world, including in the United States, Europe, Japan and India. Dr. Saha has written a textbook on operative surgery and has also written two novels.
