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

Listening to this book will help you learn:
– How white rubber boots can be useful for a beginner assistant to a cardiac surgeon?
– Why, in the case of a penetrating chest wound, you should not try to remove the knife yourself (or, for example, a screwdriver)?
– Can a heart exhausted by illness fully return to normal after a successful operation?
– How long can a person live with an artificial heart?
– Why—even with today’s level of science and technology—many young British people don’t rush to choose the profession of neurosurgeon?

Who should buy this book?
– Those who value stories that are hard to put down—at least until you finish the chapter.
– Fans of medical thrillers: there won’t be crimes here—only real “post-mortems” and investigations that have helped an meticulous surgeon uncover the truth more than once.
– Everyone fascinated by the workings of the human heart and who dreams of trying on the role of a cardiac surgeon: the effect of being in the operating room is guaranteed.
