Fragile Lives by Stephen Westaby
A Heart Surgeon's Stories of Life and Death
A gripping memoir by a veteran heart surgeon that blends vivid, often harrowing accounts of open‑heart operations with personal reflection on the emotional weight of life-and-death decision-making. Through a series of patient stories and surgical breakthroughs — including successes, failures and the messy realities of modern medicine — the narrative exposes the fragility of the human body, the moral dilemmas faced by clinicians, and the relentless drive to push surgical boundaries while grappling with loss, bureaucracy and the limits of control.
