Some jarring reading, what strength it must take to be a heart surgeon dealing with emergencies, dying patients including children.
Westabys memoir of his life as a heart surgeon is insightful, and incredibly interesting, his sadness at the failing NHS we all know of is relatable, once the best health service in the world, now on its knees.
All I can say is what a remarkable man, an amazing life, I can’t imagine how strong and calm you must be to operate in such desperate and dire conditions.
