by WilliamS.Stoney (Author)
Heart operations are quite common and relatively low-risk, but in the beginning it was just the opposite. This book presents a history of cardiac surgery in the words of the first generation of surgeons. It tells the unusual life stories of the surgeons and professional and institutional rivalries.
