跟神外那本Do No Harm比, 這本書的調調不那麼elegant, 內容更側重於手術而不像Do No Harm那樣更哲學考慮終極關懷更多一些; 這本書主要案例都是作者自己在心髒手術方麵的innovation的例(如人工心髒), 神外那本例子感覺更尋常, 手術也更calm.
評分頂級專科醫生大概是人類當中最接近神的職業瞭!
評分3.5星,讀原著對外科詞匯還是有點囫圇,但是還是好看的
評分啊哈,好多人從腦外Do No Harm來的。
評分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.
Steve Westaby is a celebrated world-famous heart surgeon who is renowned for being the first surgeon in history to fit a patient with a new type of artificial heart. During his 35-year career as a surgeon he worked at several of the UK’s top hospitals and performed over 11,000 heart operations. He won the Ray C. Fish Award for Scientific Achievement (2004). In 2004 Steve Westaby was featured in the BBC documentary Your Life in Their Hands, which is a long-running series on the subject of surgery.
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.
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...
評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...
評分几乎是一边流着泪一边读完这本书的。韦斯塔比医生以他高超的医术和崇高的医德拯救病人的故事让我感慨,医生这个职业的重量。韦斯塔比医生有一段关于他外公去世的描写让我读了一遍又一遍: 起居室的门半开着,透出昏暗的灯光。我定睛朝里望去,只看见医生站在床边,手里拿着一只...
評分书读到一半 我的泪腺有点吊诡地处于崩溃的边缘 因为这本书无可避免地让我想起了我几年前去世的外公,在今天的南通市人民医院耳鼻喉科医生办公室门口那块牌子上,还清楚地注明着他的大名,和他如何在江北一手开设了五官专科。这种后知后觉地惋惜让我鼻酸,站在私人情感的维度,...
評分这本是心外科医生Stephen Westaby写的手术故事, 读的时候自己难免和和Henry Marsh的讲述神经外科手术的Do No Harm一书比较. Westaby有很多新创的, 在英国第一例的心脏手术, 他在书里也阐述了数个这样的例; 所以该书的大多数故事都是特别困难的病例. 每个病例也都写得很详细, ...
