Synopsis

This book is the autobiography of the famed South African heart-transplanter. The novelistic (conversations recreated years after they took place), breathless prose disqualifies much of Barnard's story as good medical history, but its inherent drama will hold even the critical reader. - Annals of Internal Medicine.

Subjects: Biography
Heart
