{"product_id":"2940170716968","title":"Healing Hearts: A Memoir of a Female Heart Surgeon","description":"Dr. Kathy Magliato is one of fewer than a dozen female heart surgeons practicing in the world today. She is also a member of an even more exclusive group-those surgeons who perform heart transplants. \u003ci\u003eHealing Hearts\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of the making of a surgeon who also calls herself a wife and mother. Dr. Magliato takes us into her highly demanding, physically intense, male-dominated world and shows us how she masterfully works to save patients' lives every day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her memoir we come to know many of those patients whose lives Dr. Magliato has touched: a baby born with a hole in her heart, a ninety-four-year-old woman with heart failure, and a thirty-five-year-old movie producer who saves her own life by recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack. Along the way, Dr. Magliato sheds light on the rarely recognized symptoms of heart attack and cardiovascular disease-the number-one killer of women in America-and the specific measures that can be taken to prevent it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy taking us deep into her life and those of her patients, Dr. Magliato acquaints us with the day-to-day realities of her life and work. We see her frantically juggle a full and happy family life as the wife of a liver transplant surgeon (they each have bedside tables cluttered with pagers and cell-phones) and the mother of two young boys. We also see the toll that being a female pioneer can take, as well as the rewards of such demanding work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Magliato's powerful and moving memoir demonstrates her love, passion, and commitment toward both her work and her family and reveals that, at the end of a long day, it's the heart that matters most.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100699934960,"sku":"2940170716968","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170716968_p0.jpg?v=1763816048","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170716968","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
