The first chapters of a book are probably the least read by most readers in general and surgeons in particular, and in our opinion it is precisely in the first chapters that the most important information of a book is displayed. It is in its first chapters that the foundations of a book are laid, and many readers do not optimize the reading of a manual because they skip its fundamentals.

This is a vital unit, because unless you have a sound knowledge of English grammar, you will be absolutely unable to speak English as is expected of a welltrained surgeon. It is definitely not enough just to be able to make yourself understood; you must speak fluently and your command of the English language must allow you to communicate with your colleagues regardless of their nationality.
