I finished this book during a short vacation and enjoyed it immensely. Dr. Braunwald's life and career are fascinating and inspiring. The sheer breadth and importance of his work in reducing morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases of all types is staggering. And how he was also at the forefront of blending the two formerly separate worlds of research and clinical practice is also fascinating to learn about.By DecaWriter
If you are a 'medical person' and care at all about the growth and history of medicine, this is a must read. If you aren't, it's still a great read, but there are a few places where you might get a bit lost in the science, but overall, the writing is very accessible.
Although this king of modern medicine is best known for what he gave to cardiology and medicine, the beginning of his life is equally and absolutely enthralling. His family narrowly escaped the Nazis, were completely uprooted from a comfortable life in Europe, and eventually landed in New York - and had to start anew. The tales that brought them there are enough reason to read this fantastic book, but Lee tells a more complete story of how Braunwald rose to become a legend and how his career ran in parallel with the rise of modern medicine in America. His productivity and workload seemed almost unbelievable, but the book chronicles each step and gives a glimpse into the life of a man who truly knew nothing other than dedication to his passion.By Ace from AZ
