Surgeons, Saints, and Psychopaths: A Thrilling History of Medicine
14.99 €
"My book about cardiac surgery is like a thriller, but with many, many more dead bodies," is how the author describes his fourth book.

Stephen Westaby can tell the story of cardiac surgery like no one else, as he has served this specialty for more than fifty years and many of the breakthroughs in heart surgery occurred not only before his eyes, but also with his direct involvement.

Don't expect this to be an account of triumphs and successes," Westaby tells not only of the great discoveries but also of the failures that led to the deaths of patients.

An honest, incredibly interesting and very personal account of a life's work - that's how you can characterize this book. You will witness how medicine has evolved over the last 200 years and how humanity has moved from operations without anesthesia to the introduction of electric pumps into the human heart.
