Listened to this one on audio and really enjoyed it. Part memoir and part medical history, it was a fascinating look into the relatively recent understanding of how the human heart works and what treatments we are able to do. For example, CPR wasn‘t around until the late 1950s even though physicians began attempting open heart surgery in the late 1800s. Lots of interesting facts about cardiology - would definitely recommend. #audiobook #cardiology

This was a great read for #scienceseptember from personal history with heart disease and training as a heart specialist to the history of how our understanding of the heart has developed, and with it treatments for various ailments - meditation often does as much as medication, and the connection between anxiety/stress and the heart. I recently had AED training when I was CPR certified but had no idea that technology was so new. ⤵️

ReadingEnvy On a level of greater detail, and don't read on if you're squeamish - Dr. Jauhar describes the first self-catheterization in agonizing detail and I threw the book down mid-sentence (and I'm the least squeamish person I know!) Experiments on animals that led to major heart discoveries are explained in great detail that might be difficult to read for a lot of animal lovers. ⤵️ 5y

ReadingEnvy And since the author was a doctor working in the makeshift morgues at ground zero for 9/11, you should be prepared for some pretty gruesome detail from that day, not heart related, or at least so it seems at first. 5y

DrexEdit Interesting! That's going to displace something higher up on my #TBR list for sure. And a great cover! 😍 😊 5y

The #everykindapeople version I know is by S Club 7, who signed my video when I had my heart transplant, hence my choice of book. #ayupaugust @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen

Cinfhen My daughter LOVED S Club 7!!! How old were you when you had your surgery?? I think you guys might be around the same age. 5y

DivineDiana How special! Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️ 5y

I know this is the wrong organ for #everybreathyoutake, but because of my ♥️ transplant I have good reasons for choosing these books about the ♥️. #AnglophileApril @Cinfhen @emilyhaldi @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola

1. The first thing we noticed after my transplant is that I had more 'puff' to blow bubbles, which we used as a distraction technique as I still had my fear of needles & blood tests then.

2. I had what's known as a 'domino' transplant ⬇️

jenniferw88 where the first donor died & donated their heart & lungs to my donor, who had cystic fibrosis but whose heart was perfectly healthy. And so I received the second heart because it's easier to do a heart and lung transplant than just lungs. 5y

Amiable My stepmom had a heart transplant 4 years ago (next month)—every day we give thanks for medicine and for the donor who made the ultimate gift. Sending best wishes to you! ❤️🧡💙 5y

8little_paws That's really interesting about the domino transplant! 5y

Cinfhen Oh cool! Didn‘t know #BOTM picks were “leaked” 5y

Ncostell This looks good! I work on the open heart unit at my hospital and this is right up my alley. 5y

JennyM @Ncostell I would think this would definitely be of interest to you then. And the reviews are good, all along the lines of ‘its about learning about the heart, & learning to live from the heart‘ ❤️ 5y

A well written blend of personal and medical history. It‘s hard to read this book without occasionally putting your hand on your chest and wondering at the relentless, seemingly unstoppable, beat.
