Fragile Lives
Paperback Edition: 1
Professor Steve Westby took all the chances, ignored all the rules and pushed the boundaries to make heart surgery what it is today. At the forefront of pioneering cardiac technology, and having carried out 11,000 heart operations over his career, Steve has seen it all. In his astounding memoir Steve details some of his most remarkable cases, such as 'the pulseless man', a tiny baby who silently suffered multiple heart attacks, a woman who lived the nightmare of locked-in syndrome after surgery, and a man whose life was powered by a battery for eight years.
Fragile Lives offers an exceptional insight into the fast-paced and exhilarating world of heart surgery and how it feels to hold someone's life in your hand.
