Close to the Heart. Stories of a Cardiothoracic Surgeon

The life of a doctor is woven from the sirens of ambulances, the happy tears of relatives of cured patients, and the bitter, alas, bitter tears of those whose loved ones could not be saved, sharp jokes in the resident's office, New Year's parties in the ward, the medicinal smell of operating rooms, and the anxious sounds of intensive care. Each case, each patient leaves their mark. The author shares amazing stories in a vivid language: they bring warmth and hope, excite and provoke thought, immersing the reader in the world of surgery and revealing the details of medical daily life.
