kc908 's review for:
A long read, but an undeniably inspiring one. I felt as if I were following Stephen Westaby along his incredibly eventful career as a cardiac surgeon. Being guided through his triumphs and losses; the inevitable soaring highs and sombre lows of his role. Not only did he provide a raw insight into the role of a surgeon, but he clearly painted an image of the realities of mortality. Life really is balanced on a tight rope, hanging above a wide abyss of death. It was truly awe-inspiring to watch surgeons like Westaby (already struggling under the inner moral turmoil that came with a lack of funding and emotional weight that came from seeing people at their most vulnerable) grapple with that tight rope. Sometimes mending it. Sometimes standing by and having to watch it break.
