Reading about Brain Surgery Made Easy

If you think a book about brain aneurysms needs to be dull and technical, and read like a medical textbook, think again. This one is informal, conversational, and quickly read. Who should read this book? Anyone who has been diagnosed with an aneurysm or has a family member who has, and wants to be better informed. Dr. Nussbaum uses a concrete storytelling metaphor to illustrate his narrative. The information is in short question and answer format and is illustrated with simple, clear, line drawings. There is a good glossary. The length is only 128 pages. As far as I know, there is nothing as accessible available about this subject.
