Cardiac surgeon - Samer Nashef
Cardio-vascular disease is the world's biggest killer, but just how easy is it to mend a broken heart? Stephen Sackur talks to leading cardiac surgeon Samer Nashef.
There is something special about the human heart. We live with, and by, its constant beat. We invest it with our deepest feelings. So naturally we reserve something like reverence for the surgeons who try to fix them when they are broken. Samer Nashef has chosen to write with honesty about the highs, lows and limitations of life and death surgery. He spoke to Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur at the Hay literary festival in Wales.
