As cardiologist and bestselling author Sandeep Jauhar shows in The Heart, it was only recently that we demolished age-old taboos and devised the transformative procedures that changed the way we live. Deftly alternating between historical episodes and his own work, Jauhar tells the colorful and little known story of the doctors who risked their careers and the patients who risked their lives to know and heal our most vital organ, braiding those tales of discovery, hubris, and sorrow with moving accounts of the patients he's treated over the years. He also confronts the limits of medical technology, boldly arguing that future progress will depend more on how we choose to live than on the devices we invent. Affecting and engaging, The Heart takes the full measure of the only organ that can move itself. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Heart. 650 0 $a Heart $x Diseases. 650 0 $a Cardiologists $v Personal narratives. 650 0 $a Cardiology. 700 1 $a Lawlor, Patrick G. $q (Patrick Girard), $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12201539 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781974904662_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181102010616.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A07F9AE0DE6411E8A1A4695297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
