Cardiac surgeons have the mysterious power to open chests, perform blood transfusions, and bring the dead back to life, but they are also living people who experience core emotions that all humans share—most of the time.
A freak sports accident shaped Westaby into one of the world's leading cardiac surgeons. "I went from a withered violet to a free-spirited, arrogant bastard. I became immune to stress and became a habitual risk-taker, always hungry for excitement, attracting high-risk cases to me like a magnet, and reveling in the race against death."
Reader comments
This book truly shows the working life and inner world of a cardiac surgeon. I like Westaby, the main character in the book, he is skilled and has a tough character. But I hate those arrogant doctors whose self-righteousness almost led to disaster. This book gave me a deeper understanding of the profession of doctor, and I recommend it to you!
