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.
頂級專科醫生大概是人類當中最接近神的職業瞭!
評分作者是Pubmed一搜300+,隨便一篇就是心髒頂刊的業界大佬。末期病人的故事往往都很動人。腫瘤目前仍沒有可觀的治療方法。但是心衰的病人真的是越來越有希望瞭。盡管我們國傢依然走在歐美的二十年之後(書中96年就開始做人工泵瞭,而我們現在的兩個所謂國産泵還依然在臨床試驗)。就算心髒停止瞭跳動,神奇的人類與科技仍然可以挽救生命。Indefinitely pulsatile。但是本書對非心髒相關專業的人都略有不友好,建議不是超有信心的朋友還是讀中文版,專業詞匯著實有點略多。我是建立在體外循環專業的基礎上,且對各種泵還略有瞭解,超級認真的讀下去還蠻有滋味。
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。
評分心髒外科手術醫生的救治經曆,非常詳細和具體,他的方法和技術也比較前沿。非常非常推薦,比國內那些水水的醫生日記有料一韆倍。誰知道自己和身邊的人會發生什麼?裏麵的個案都非常有代錶性,讓我更加瞭解不單是心髒手術,還有醫療的疏忽和延誤,生死一綫。

我日常喜爱读小说,热衷于在创作者的笔下领略起承转合,挖掘伏笔铺排,赞叹绝地反击。虽然也为不少角色的生死揪心,但大体是知道走向,有个预期的。 拿到《打开一颗心》的时候,也有类似的预期。虽说是非虚构,但总是习惯性的视为“故事”。要给我讲医学史上的故事对不对,人类...
評分病例总结书评第一的小姐姐已经总结的非常到位了。 我作为一名Perfusionist的学生,主要研究针对ECMO,看这本书还是饶有兴致的。只是全书16章,阅读到致谢后记住的故事不超过五个。 读书前就猜到应该会涉及ECMO的内容,但没想到直到最后才出现,而且还是不良结局,典型的时机把...
評分 評分8.5分。 很奇怪,离开医生这个行业以后,又开始喜欢看医学类的书籍。想了一下,大概是因为,越是看到人类在疾病面前的苦痛、挣扎、希望、绝望,就能越深入地探测到医生内心那些犹疑、偏执、茫然、和冰冷的自我否定,我就会越加肯定自己多年以前的选择,正如这位伟大的心脏外科...
