SAVA, GEORGE. - Patients' Progress.

London: Faber and Faber Limited, 1952. 1st edition. "Takes us on a medical journey round the world, from the hut surgeries and 'magical' methods of the Balkans in the nineteen-twenties to the latest streamlined, chromium-plated, 'gadgetized' hospitals of the United States..the theatrical finesse of the French practitioner, the academic god-like hauteur of the German, and the devoted - if at times somewhat dull - integrity of the British.." Pp.253, owner's name to front free endpaper. Blue cloth with sunning to edges of front board, dustwrapper rubbed with edge tears. G/G.** "Described as a "Russian exile", he was born George Alexis Milkomanov Milkomane on October 15, 1903. He wrote approximately 120 books under the pseudonyms George Sava, George Bankoff, George Borodin, George Braddon, Peter Conway, Alec Redwood, and others. His grandfather was a Bulgarian who, at a time when Bulgaria was part of the Ottoman Empire, migrated to Russia. He was a Lieutenant in the White Russian Navy when he was seventeen. He was forced to perform emergency surgery without any medical training that saved the life of a comrade which induced him to pursue a career in medicine and to become a surgeon".(wiki).
