Dr. Gilbert will answer questions after his talk. Copies of his book will be on sale. Refreshments will be served. Dr. Gilbert is Professor and Clinical Head of Emergency Medicine at the University of North Norway, Tromsø, Norway. He is considered by many Norwegians, and others, to be the country's most celebrated surgeon.
