This book gives you the language to ask your questions and provides crystal clear answers that you will not find elsewhere."" Nancy Epstein, MD, FRCSC, Lecturer, Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto ""Destined to be the 'number two' best seller of all time! Internationally respected Colorectal Surgeon, Marcus Burnstein, shares valuable insights and wisdom in a tremendously informative, easily readable, and entertaining book. A truly valuable resource for health care providers, medical and healthcare students, AND ANYONE WITH AN ANUS. What you need and want to know, and more, about the function and care of your bottom end."" Dr. Kenneth Robb, Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto ""A 'poop-o-gram'? Who knew? Turns out Dr. Marcus Burnstein does. This is a terrific owner's and user's manual for your keister. Enjoy."" Howard Epstein, LLB, MLA, Nova Scotia (ret.) ""I am very impressed with Bummer. I especially liked the use of patient examples which makes it more readable and relatable. The more people that read this book the better!"" Catherine Lawrence, LLB ""It's an absolute tour de force. So well written. You continue to amaze me Dr. Burnstein!"" Chad Ball, MD, FRCSC, Professor of Surgery, University of Calgary ""What a Bummer! A lot goes on down there - more than you can imagine. Now we can all know what goes on and it is told to us in a way that we can easily understand. Clearly written, with one topic leading to the next, Bummer delves into the workings of our bottom end. Filled with important health information and humour. Thank you, Dr. Marcus."" Myrna Yazer, BN, Research Manager, Pain Management Unit, QEII Health Sciences Centre (ret.) ""Bummer illuminates all the issues that exist 'where the sun don't shine.' In this very informative book, Dr. Marcus Burnstein lays out various anal and colorectal problems in an understandable, easy-to-read fashion that patients (and their physicians!) will benefit from tremendously. One of our favourite sections is Dr. Burnstein's reflections on what it means to be a surgeon and how he tries to pass along that legacy to his trainees. Bummer is an important offering from one of Canada's most highly respected colorectal surgeons, and is for all those interested in what goes on with the back passage."" Dr. Ameer Farooq, MD, FRCSC, Associate Professor, Queen's University and Dr. Chad Ball, MD, FRCSC, Professor of Surgery, University of Calgary, Hosts of Cold Steel: The Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast ""Problems 'down there' are common, but questions about anal health can be uncomfortable to ask. Bummer asks the important questions and provides clear answers. Dr. Burnstein gets to the bottom of things in an extremely readable, understandable, and entertaining way."" John Tory, Order of Ontario, former Mayor of Toronto"
