Now having performed over 15, 000 open heart surgeries, more than nearly every surgeon in history, Dr. Singh reflects on his most memorable patients and his incredible personal life. Shared for the first time, these intimate and uplifting accounts, along with photos, will have you cheering for the underdog and appreciating the enduring determination of the human spirit. | Your Heart My Hands by Arun K Singh, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
