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.

读后感
书读到一半 我的泪腺有点吊诡地处于崩溃的边缘 因为这本书无可避免地让我想起了我几年前去世的外公，在今天的南通市人民医院耳鼻喉科医生办公室门口那块牌子上，还清楚地注明着他的大名，和他如何在江北一手开设了五官专科。这种后知后觉地惋惜让我鼻酸，站在私人情感的维度，...
评分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...
评分有如读一本心外入门手册。这样一本珍贵的书一定值得在读完后留下些什么，也值得在文字之外多了解些什么。 一、一些视频参考 1. Heart-lung machine心肺机。由体外系统接替心肺功能，使用高钾溶液停搏心脏后进行手术。 视频参考： 心肺机原理 2. 书中提到的部分案例在作者的TED ...
评分 评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...

评分I will never confuse atrium with ventricle after reading the book. Lives are as fragile as they are strong. Wish there are more brave and excellent doctors as well as affordable life-saving technologies out there. And finally, cherish the best asset of yours since you are not a billionaire--your health.
