An incredible memoir from one of the world’s most eminent heart surgeons, recalling some of the most remarkable & poignant cases he’s worked on.

Grim Reaper sits on the heart surgeon’s shoulder. A slip of the hand & life ebbs away.

The balance between life & death is so delicate, & the heart surgeon walks that rope between the two. In the operating room there is no time for doubt.

It is flesh, blood, rib-retractors & pumping the vital organ with your bare hand to squeeze the life back into it. An off-day can have dire consequences – this job has a steep learning curve, & the cost is measured in human life. Cardiac surgery is not for the faint of heart.
