How do I get a piece of rebar out of a baby's chest? What if a bullet goes straight into a blood vessel and now heads for the heart? How do I resuscitate a pregnant woman with stab wounds so that both she and her baby survive? When other doctors doubt or drop their hands altogether, Westaby bravely grabs a scalpel! Stephen Westaby is a renowned heart surgeon, researcher an innovator and a brave professional. It was he who urinated through the catheter into the boot during the operation so as not to waste time. It was he who undertook to save the life of a dying motorcyclist when his jaw was broken. It was his patient who lived with an artificial heart the longest and got into the book of records. Westabi devoted his whole life to heart surgery - he always took on the most hopeless cases and worked wonders. In this book, he opens the door to the operating room of the famous Harefield Hospital, an advanced cardiac surgery center in Birmingham, Alabama, where he enters into real battles with death itself. The author describes the most difficult cases from the practice of a cardiac surgeon, the difficult fate of patients and the general problems of the health care system that were revealed during the Covid-19 virus pandemic, which Stephen Westabi learned about in Wuhan even before he was identified by the whole world.
