About this product

Product Information

Described by one surgeon as "soul-crushing, diamond-making stress," surgery on congenital heart defects is arguably the most difficult of all surgical specialties. Drawing back the hospital curtain for a unique and captivating look at the extraordinary skill and dangerous politics of critical surgery in a pediatric heart center, Michael Ruhlman focuses on the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, where a team of medical specialists--led by idiosyncratic virtuoso Dr. Roger Mee--work on the edge of disaster on a daily basis. Walk on Water offers a rare and dramatic glimpse into a world where the health of innocent children and the hopes of white-knuckled families rest in the hands of all-too-human doctors.

Outstanding Book - very well written
Michael Ruhlman has written an excellent depiction of the challenges of surgical repair of congenitally malformed young hearts. More important he has provided a guide to parents to help them access the best care for their sick child. Ruhlman provides a clear explanation of the destructive role politics plays in the health care arena. A must read for parents with a sick child, hospital administrators and Board Members.
