On 12 October 1972, a Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying members of
the 'Old Christians' rugby team (and many of their friends and
family members) crashed into the Andes mountains. I Had to Survive
offers a gripping and heartrending recollection of the harrowing
brink-of-death experience that propelled survivor Roberto Canessa
to become one of the world's leading paediatric cardiologists.
Canessa, a second-year medical student at the time, tended to his
wounded teammates amidst the devastating carnage of the wreck and
played a key role in safeguarding his fellow survivors, eventually
trekking with a companion across the hostile mountain range for
help. This fine line between life and death became the catalyst for
the rest of his life. This uplifting tale of hope and
determination, solidarity and ingenuity gives vivid insight into a
world famous story. Canessa also draws a unique and fascinating
parallel between his work as a doctor performing arduous heart
surgeries on infants and unborn babies and the difficult
life-changing decisions he was forced to make in the Andes. With
grace and humanity, Canessa prompts us to ask ourselves: what do
you do when all the odds are stacked against you?
