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
我日常喜爱读小说，热衷于在创作者的笔下领略起承转合，挖掘伏笔铺排，赞叹绝地反击。虽然也为不少角色的生死揪心，但大体是知道走向，有个预期的。 拿到《打开一颗心》的时候，也有类似的预期。虽说是非虚构，但总是习惯性的视为“故事”。要给我讲医学史上的故事对不对，人类...
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1.医生职业崇高 “因为常年接洗手护士用力递来的手术器械，我手掌上的筋膜缩短，手变得像爪子。这叫‘杜普伊特伦缩’（Dupuytren’s contracture）。现在我甚至没法恰当地和人打招呼，因为我的手始终蜷曲着，就像总握着一把剪刀、持针器或胸骨锯。这是真正的‘职业适应’，也在...
评分看理想老友计划赠送的书，物超所值。韦斯塔比医生不仅有高超的医术，文笔也不错。跌宕起伏惊心动魄的故事里掺进一两句玩笑，读起来非常受用。上一次读心外科的人文书籍是李清晨连载的心外传奇。 作为一个心外科医生，失败的手术肯定是多数的，但读者需要英雄，需要振奋人心的成...
用户评价
3.5星，读原著对外科词汇还是有点囫囵，但是还是好看的
评分The stories about life and death and medical advancements are so inspiring. Sometimes also very sad.
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！
评分跟神外那本Do No Harm比, 这本书的调调不那么elegant, 内容更侧重于手术而不像Do No Harm那样更哲学考虑终极关怀更多一些; 这本书主要案例都是作者自己在心脏手术方面的innovation的例(如人工心脏), 神外那本例子感觉更寻常, 手术也更calm.
