A Heart Surgeon's Stories of Life and Death on the Operating Table

Fragile Lives

This is not a happy go lucky or an easy book to read. It is honest, brutally so at times. The depiction of the life of a heart surgeon, the sacrifices and losses one has to endure, feels so authentic, that it felt like I was standing in the operating theatre myself at times. I would highly recommend this work to anyone with an interest in medicine and surgery, as it not only shows the technical, but also political and most human challenges of working in the medical field.
