Join the Clifford Craig Foundation and Petrarch's Bookshop for the launch of Becoming That Guy by Dr Brian Herman, a medical memoir.
What's it like to operate on someone's beating heart, while they're still awake? Brian Herman has spent his forty-year career doing just that - repairing failing hearts through the tiniest of incisions.
With engaging directness, Herman reflects on what it takes to work in the high-stakes theatre of the cath lab, on the judgement that comes from experience, and on what it's like to become that guy: the one you call when all else has failed.
