'Never, never, never give in', Winston Churchill's famous quotation
best sums up the life of Stephen Westaby, the world-leading
cardiothoracic surgeon. This book chronicles the triumphs and
failures of his surgical life, the lives saved and extended, the
innovations (such as artificial hearts) he developed, and his
research discoveries. Having spent his childhood in the backstreets
of a northern steel town, he went on to become one of the world's
foremost heart surgeons. HIs drive for perfection in his profession
took him to the world-renowned Harefield Hospital, the foremost
heart surgery centre in Birmingham, Alabama, the newly-created
Cardiothoracic Centre in Oxford, and then in 2019 in Wuhan he was
the first Western doctor to learn about Covid before the virus was
identified. Following on from his two earlier best-selling works,
Fragile Lives and The Knife's Edge this volume is written with
humour and a doctor's reverence for life and his patients. The
Trauma Chronicles gives an unmissable insight into the world of one
of the greatest living heart surgeons.
