Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-22 00:00:00 Dewijanti Hardi A challenging read because of medical terminology, but eye-opening regarding open heart surgery and the part Vivien Thomas played in developing groundbreaking surgical techniques; without a medical degree!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-13 00:00:00 Frederick Menkello I read this book in class with my Medical Skills students. It's a bit heavy in Medical Terminology but so worth it. The story is an inspiring true story of two men who build a yin and yang relationship and because of who they are, and how they work together, change how medicine understands and cares for heart conditions.
