Denver, CO, OCTOBER 27
- Thieme has donated 20 copies of Dr. David F. Jimenez's
book Intracranial Endoscopic Neurosurgery to the Ibn Sina
Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq.
Dr. Richard Teff, one of two US military neurological
surgeons currently stationed at the hospital, met the
author Dr. Jimenez at the Thieme booth during the Congress
of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) meeting in Denver,
Colorado (Oct. 20 - 22).
Dr. Jimenez personally dedicated and signed all 20
copies of his book. An overjoyed Dr. Teff accepted the
books in absence of his colleagues. He will carry the
books back to Baghdad and will deliver them personally
upon his return.
Due to the ongoing fighting in Iraq, Dr. Teff and his
colleagues have had to treat a number of head wounds
and traumatic brain injuries since the beginning of
the war. Thieme is planning on donating more books in
other specialties and will stay in touch with Dr. Teff
to determine which books are needed most urgently.
