About the Book

'Not just a brilliant introduction to one of the most exacting areas of modern medicine, it's a humbling glimpse of humans at their best.' Sunday Times 'Inspires wonder at all that modern medicine can achieve.' TLS Think how much of your identity is vested in the face you see in the mirror every morning. Now imagine that face so ravaged by cancer, an accident, a car crash or a gunshot wound that it is barely recognizable. Consider how it might feel if, after surgery, the person you remember, but had given up all hope of seeing again, is looking back at you once more. Over the years, world-leading maxillofacial surgeon Jim McCaul has helped countless people make this journey. Face to Face is an extraordinary journey through the most high-tech and complex of microsurgical procedures, following the stories of some of the patients McCaul has saved from terrible illness and life-changing injuries - and some he wasn't able to help. It guides us through the epic surgical procedures his job requires him to perform daily, where the margin for error is effectively zero, and reminds us of the game-changing reconstruction techniques pioneered during the First World War. But at its heart are the human stories of the patients for whom McCaul's work is often quite literally a matter of life and death.

About the Author :
Jim McCaul is Consultant Surgeon in Maxillofacial, Head and Neck Surgery at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow. He was appointed as Consultant Surgeon in Bradford Teaching Hospitals in West Yorkshire in 2006 and worked there for eight years before becoming Consultant Maxillofacial/Head and Neck Surgeon at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London, in April 2014. He is the author of 57 scientific papers though this is his first book for the general market. He lives in Scotland with his family.

Review :
The face is our window on the world. In his powerful and moving account McCaul describes how it feels to take it apart and put it back together again, in the battlefield and on the operating table. This is often scary stuff, but always inspiring. There's a vicarious thrill to being let into this insider zone... Inspires wonder at all that modern medicine can achieve. Fascinating and life-affirming ... Jim McCaul confides in us the joys and the agony of facial surgery. Face to Face is not just a brilliant introduction to one of the most exacting areas of modern medicine, it's a humbling glimpse of humans at their best. Enjoyable and compelling.
