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
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...
评分正如Westaby自己所说，“我们是对肾上腺素上瘾的人，始终亢奋，始终渴望行动。从流血的病人到停搏的心脏，从一篇篇真实的故事让人揪心，激动，难过。有及时抢救的成功案例，有运用韦斯塔比气管插管术，柏林之心，AB-180心室辅助装置，贾维克2000的成功案例，也有因为失误操作导...

评分英国著名心外科医生Stephen Westaby执笔自己近50年的从医经历，经手过12000颗心脏，一个个活生生的例子惊心动魄，看完的感觉是膜拜医生、敬畏生命。作者有天赋，具有大脑半球双侧优势，左右手都能动手术，敢于冒险尝试新技术，里面的手术描写很详细，都是一些疑难及创新的例子...
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...
用户评价
The stories about life and death and medical advancements are so inspiring. Sometimes also very sad.
评分作者是Pubmed一搜300+，随便一篇就是心脏顶刊的业界大佬。末期病人的故事往往都很动人。肿瘤目前仍没有可观的治疗方法。但是心衰的病人真的是越来越有希望了。尽管我们国家依然走在欧美的二十年之后（书中96年就开始做人工泵了，而我们现在的两个所谓国产泵还依然在临床试验）。就算心脏停止了跳动，神奇的人类与科技仍然可以挽救生命。Indefinitely pulsatile。但是本书对非心脏相关专业的人都略有不友好，建议不是超有信心的朋友还是读中文版，专业词汇着实有点略多。我是建立在体外循环专业的基础上，且对各种泵还略有了解，超级认真的读下去还蛮有滋味。
评分医学人文类书籍，今年看过最好的书，集医学知识、种族、人文、生活等元素为一体。特别是youtube上可以找到相关医学案例的采访，增加了阅读体验，太精彩了！
评分上半年最佳
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.
