“Dr. Veith would seem an unlikely radical, but he is waging an aggressive and unusually public fight in the clubby world of the medical profession.”—The New York Times

"Veith effectively tells a story that encompasses dramatic advances in the medical field over decades, while also taking a clear-eyed look at the industry’s challenges. An engaging and evocative medical memoir." —Kirkus Reviews

"[Dr. Frank Veith's] book is a must read...This inside look at a trail-blazing surgeon's decades-long fight against the medical establishment is a fascinating chronicle of the complex inner workings of the "medical jungle." —Starred review from Blue Ink Review

“The Medical Jungle describes Dr. Veith’s journey in a surgeon’s world. It reveals that passion, hard work, and self-belief can overcome resistance to improve medical care. Sadly, it also confirms that necessary changes in medical practice cannot take place if those who are the custodians of change benefit from the status quo. This is a must-read book for all doctors and the public!”

—PROFESSOR SIR PETER R. F. BELL, past president of the European Society of Vascular Surgery

“The Medical Jungle is a courageous and honest portrait of a passionate leader and a visionary vascular surgeon. It is a must-read for anyone trying to meaningfully affect any field and build a lasting legacy.”

—SIMONA ZANNETTI, MD, vice president of clinical research and medical science, peripheral vascular heath, Medtronic

“Dr. Veith is an icon in academic surgery and a visionary vascular surgery leader. The Medical Jungle vividly portrays his personal persistence to get his innovative contributions accepted as well as his important decades-long fight to establish vascular surgery as a recognized discipline.”

—DR. HAZIM J. SAFI, founding professor and chairman of the department of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at McGovern Medical School, University of Texas, in Houston
