Open Heart
Author: Stephen Westaby
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465094848
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
In gripping prose, one of the world's leading cardiac surgeons lays bare both the wonder and the horror of a life spent a heartbeat away from death When Stephen Westaby witnessed a patient die on the table during open-heart surgery for the first time, he was struck by the quiet, determined way the surgeons walked away. As he soon understood, this detachment is a crucial survival strategy in a profession where death is only a heartbeat away. In Open Heart, Westaby reflects on over 11,000 surgeries, showing us why the procedures have never become routine and will never be. With astonishing compassion, he recounts harrowing and sometimes hopeful stories from his operating room: we meet a pulseless man who lives with an electric heart pump, an expecting mother who refuses surgery unless the doctors let her pregnancy reach full term, and a baby who gets a heart transplant-only to die once it's in place. For readers of Atul Gawande's Being Mortal and of Henry Marsh's Do No Harm, Open Heart offers a soul-baring account of a life spent in constant confrontation with death.

Celebrity Surgeon
Author: Chris Logan
Publisher: Virago Press
ISBN: 9781868421633
Category : Heart
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Dr Chris Barnard caused a world sensation in December 1967 by performing the first human heart transplant, transforming him overnight from an unknown surgeon into a household name. Although he wrote a number of books about himself, and his first wife, Louwtjie, wrote a book in reply to one of them, there has never been a full scale, objective biography of the man named by Time Magazine as one of only two South Africans on a list of people who had changed the world - the other being Nelson Mandela. The author covers Barnard's boyhood in Beaufort West, his medical training, his marriage to Louwtjie and his first fulltime job, to his becoming a surgeon, and finally succeeding in a human transplant. He discusses how Barnard became transformed into a social butterfly, wearing Italian suits and having affairs with celebrities such as Gina Lollobrigida and Francoise Hardy, resulting in his divorce from Louwtjie. He then fell in love with and married a 19-year-old model, Barbara Zoellner. We see how he collaborated with Eschel Rhoodie's Department of Information; a period about which Logan has uncovered previously unpublished details.
