Have A Heart!

This book is an incredibly accurate medical description of the heart and its works regarding both its successes and failures. It is not only humorous but also very learned and deep. Carter is a wizard with words, their origins and significant meanings. This book could have been written by a poet/doctor such as William Carlos Williams. The only time I thought he was over the top was his comparision of rodeo clowns to doctors. Not quite fair to rodeo clowns. Dr.Tom White Milton, MA
