Описание: Heartbeats is the light-hearted memoirs of one of the pioneers in modern cardiac surgery, Constantine Dino Tatooles, M.D. Dinos stories, as told to his brother James E. Tatooles, will quite literally warm your heart as well as provide a background to the advances in cardiac surgery made over the past fifty years.
After Medical School, Dr. Tatooles interned at the University of Chicago and received a grant from the Heart Association to open his own medical laboratory. Later, the National Heart Institute selected Dr. Tatooles as one of five doctors to study at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Thats where we started to perfect a lot of the new operative procedures that are used today, recounts Dr. Tatooles.
Ironically, Dr. Tatooles recently had some difficult medicine of his own to swallow when he discovered that he needed a quintuple bypass. As his brother James E. Tatooles relates in Heartbeats, a procedure that Dino helped to develop eventually saved his life.
