‘Thank Goodness for people like professor Westaby’. For about the 3rd time that day my Wife had been told to expect the worst. After having 2 massive heart attacks earlier that morning, then going into cardiac arrest, the crash team, as they call them, worked on me for about an hour (with my Wife shouting at me not to give up) to bring me back to life. Since the incident in March 2008 Professor Westaby has intermittently contact us, just to find out how we are!

Professor Westaby took the time to talk with the boys and give them an overview of what was what, again demonstrating his warm personality and humanity. My two sons, although very distressed at the time, wanted to know about all the gadgetry that was connected to me! I was flattered to be chosen, out of all the many cases, to go into this fascinating book.

If Professor Westaby had not been around at that particular time, on that particular day in that particular place I would, for sure, not be here writing this review! , my Son's wouldn't have a Dad and my Wife would be a widow! What a great man he is, a man who never gives up on hopeless cases, a true pioneer, people person, I only speak as I find! The rest is in the book!

Unfortunately my brother was not so lucky. ! Professor Stephen Westaby is my Hero & Saviour and like many other patients, he saved my life after all other options had been exhausted. I was then fitted with an intra-aortic balloon pump to keep the artery open, fully ventilated and put into an ambulance to Oxford.

I was completely captivated from the first page to the last – a must read book.
