Title: What was he thinking?
Review: The author of this book, Dr. Edgar Berman had a most incredible career. He was evidently a talented and amazing man. But this book...wow. I don't know what to say. It is a jumbled, incoherent mess. You will finish the book and not have taken anything away from it except that the author seems angry about many things.Not knowing anything about Dr. Berman, when I began the book, I noticed that he seemed to be especially angry - even hostile - toward women. Throughout the text, he referred to them by such names as Old Maid, Hen, Flabby militant feminist, and platform-shod gum chewing floozy. He wrote that Gynecology and/or Obstetrics would be an ideal specialty except for one thing - women. Chapter 10, on plastic surgery, is titled "From Hags to Bitches". A little research on the good Doctor revealed a long history of disrespect for women.What else is there to be said? This book is going in the trash.
