Abstract
As medical societies and meetings multiply, surgeons are strongly and repeatedly solicited to travel to give a talk, participate in a scientific conference or meeting, or meet with a group of other physicians to elaborate on specific issues. When this means taking an airplane, traversing different time and weather zones, eating different food, sleeping in strange places and conditions, and meeting many new people, “battle fatigue” can take its toll. In this chapter, we endeavor to advise the traveling surgeon how to survive when on the road.
