The Matter of the Heart: A History of the Heart in Eleven Operations by Thomas Morris

5.0

Having been born with CHD, as soon as I saw this book I knew I needed to read it. It had such beautiful illustrations of the heart at the front, and one of the first chapters talked about the procedure which saved my life twice as a baby.
There's so much history behind procedures which are taken for granted now or seen as routine.

Throughout most of the chapters I went on a bit of a journey from intrigued to a bit queasy to disappointed to impressed to relieved it's now 2018.

Anyone interested in cardiology should give this a read!
