The post-op course was stormy with no improvement. His wish was to die at home, so he was discharged. At the funeral, his wife presented the doctors with a lawsuit, saying \"You buried my husband without his heart.\" The doctors found his heart, put it back in his chest, and the lawsuit vanished. This case had a profound effect on the author's thinking and conduct as a physician cardiologist. Dr. Weiss realized doctors focused on the heart as a pump, rather than the symbolic heart and what it represents. This book surveys how a host of ancient cultures, religions, and civilizations envisioned the homo sapiens heart before the advent of modern medicine, and how that understanding will preserve our species.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explora Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47775297110167,"sku":"9781834301723","price":1213.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781834301723.webp?v=1777989504","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/darwins-heart-9781834301723","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
