Knife's Edge

Descriere

Eminent heart surgeon Stephen Westaby's extraordinary manual dexterity, coordination and ambidexterity have seen him rise to the status of a leader in his field, while also taking an unsentimental attitude to the nature of the work. In this memoir, Westaby looks back on his time in the profession, explores the unique nature of the job, and levels criticism at the external forces that hinder medical success.
