A review by bookmark3brodi
Open Heart: A Cardiac Surgeon's Stories of Life and Death on the Operating Table by Stephen Westaby

informative reflective sad medium-paced

3.0

An eye-opening book that allows the reader to grasp a perspective that is realistically depicted naturally. The narration of encounters about both operations and patients makes you think twice about the job of a surgeon; as Westaby states many times being objective is a necessity in his line of work - it is a rarity among today’s society.
