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
接近十个小时，断断续续地读完。 真的很赞。让我对医学，对外科，对人体，对心脏，都有了更深的认识。 中间有好几次不忍直视书中的文字，那些详细生动描写手术过程的文字，看着看着就感觉自己身上会感受到疼痛，自己的呼吸急促。我自认看过的医学剧破案剧相比这个阶段的同龄人...
评分我日常喜爱读小说，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...
评分关于作者 斯蒂芬·韦斯塔比医生，曾任英国牛津约翰·拉德克利夫医院主任医生及教授，是世界一流的心外科手术专家和人工心脏专家。在他五十年的职业生涯中，曾经亲手完成过一万两千台心脏外科手术，平均每个工作日都要完成一例手术。 手术室本是非常之地，既是解除病痛的地方，...
评分终于动手开始写这本书的读后感啦，这件事在我的To do list上面待了三天了。主要是写这个读后感有一些些压力，自己的感想丰富而零碎，怕自己没记录周全；作为一个医学生的自己又对其中的一些专业知识有一些自己的思考。所以总体而言，这篇读后感是略带专业性的，充满理性的，又...
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...
用户评价
心脏外科手术医生的救治经历，非常详细和具体，他的方法和技术也比较前沿。非常非常推荐，比国内那些水水的医生日记有料一千倍。谁知道自己和身边的人会发生什么？里面的个案都非常有代表性，让我更加了解不单是心脏手术，还有医疗的疏忽和延误，生死一线。
评分推荐这本书，一个心脏外科医生的自传。
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The stories about life and death and medical advancements are so inspiring. Sometimes also very sad.
评分作为一个很想学医的人，这本书满足了我对于医生一切的想象。
