An incredible memoir from one of the world’s most eminent heart surgeons and some of the most remarkable and poignant cases he’s worked on.
Grim Reaper sits on the heart surgeon’s shoulder. A slip of the hand and life ebbs away.
The balance between life and death is so delicate, and 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 and 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, and the cost is measured in human life. Cardiac surgery is not for the faint of heart.
Professor Stephen Westaby took chances and pushed the boundaries of heart surgery. He saved hundreds of lives over the course of a thirty-five year career and now, in his astounding memoir, Westaby details some of his most remarkable and poignant cases – such as the baby who had suffered multiple heart attacks by six months old, a woman who lived the nightmare of locked-in syndrome, and a man whose life was powered by a battery for eight years.
A powerful, important and incredibly moving book, Fragile Lives offers an exceptional insight into the exhilarating and sometimes tragic world of heart surgery, and how it feels to hold someone’s life in your hands.
Steve Westaby is a celebrated world-famous heart surgeon who is renowned for being the first surgeon in history to fit a patient with a new type of artificial heart. During his 35-year career as a surgeon he worked at several of the UK’s top hospitals and performed over 11,000 heart operations. He won the Ray C. Fish Award for Scientific Achievement (2004). In 2004 Steve Westaby was featured in the BBC documentary Your Life in Their Hands, which is a long-running series on the subject of surgery.

評分啊哈,好多人從腦外Do No Harm來的。
評分和好多小夥伴一樣,看完Henry Marsh那本腦外之後來Stephen Westaby這邊看心外。之前想看的Under the Knife就是他的新作。頂級外科醫生們退休後轉行科普類暢銷書作者,人生也是很完滿瞭。
評分The stories about life and death and medical advancements are so inspiring. Sometimes also very sad.
这本是心外科医生Stephen Westaby写的手术故事, 读的时候自己难免和和Henry Marsh的讲述神经外科手术的Do No Harm一书比较. Westaby有很多新创的, 在英国第一例的心脏手术, 他在书里也阐述了数个这样的例; 所以该书的大多数故事都是特别困难的病例. 每个病例也都写得很详细, ...
評分终于动手开始写这本书的读后感啦,这件事在我的To do list上面待了三天了。主要是写这个读后感有一些些压力,自己的感想丰富而零碎,怕自己没记录周全;作为一个医学生的自己又对其中的一些专业知识有一些自己的思考。所以总体而言,这篇读后感是略带专业性的,充满理性的,又...
評分英国著名心外科医生Stephen Westaby执笔自己近50年的从医经历,经手过12000颗心脏,一个个活生生的例子惊心动魄,看完的感觉是膜拜医生、敬畏生命。作者有天赋,具有大脑半球双侧优势,左右手都能动手术,敢于冒险尝试新技术,里面的手术描写很详细,都是一些疑难及创新的例子...
評分作为医学生的自己也有那么一点感触吧 。 有一章节狄更斯的话让我印象深刻:“拥有一颗永不变硬的心,永不厌烦的脾气,一双手触碰人时永远不会伤害别人。”医学是需要温度的,看那些真正的医学大家,内心深处都是特别善良的人啊,不然怎么可以牺牲自己那么多的光阴,青春,家庭...
