Customer Reviews

They should give you this book in hospital

Open heart surgery has enormous psychological implications which are ignored by the medical profession. This book addresses all those needs. Although the book tends to focus on the "heart attack" patient, it is useful and adaptable to anyone who has undergone open heart surgery. It also addresses the emotional needs of the spouse and the family. This book should be given to patients soon after surgery.
