Pierced hearts. A surgeon talks about the most hopeless patients and attempts to save them
Do you think a gunshot wound to the heart is always fatal? But no. Stephen Westaby is a world-renowned cardiac surgeon and the bestselling author of Fragile Lives and The Scalpel's Edge. He pulled out the most hopeless victims from... the other world: ruptured arteries, knife wounds, bullets stuck in the heart. His patients were victims of mad love, ritual fanaticism, accidents, plane crashes and everyday accidents. And the brilliant surgeon fought for each one to the end. In this book, Stephen Westaby describes the big world of cardiac surgery: real stories of victims, the skill of doctors and unique operations on wounded hearts. The author will tell in detail about the most striking triumphs and tragic failures in games with death.
