The incredible life story of legendary cardiac surgeon and scientist Magdi Yacoub, an outsider who succeeded against the odds

Veteran journalists Simon Pearson and Fiona Gorman follow the remarkable life of heart surgeon Magdi Yacoub from his formative years in Egypt, through spectacular success at Cairo University, to his long and distinguished career in Britain. Although at times he clashed with the medical establishment in London, Yacoub pioneered great advances in heart surgery. He was knighted in 1992, and in 2014, he was awarded the highest honor in the gift of the Queen, the Order of Merit.

Written with unprecedented access and drawing on extensive interviews and research, the biography recounts how Yacoub transformed the treatment of children with congenital heart disease. He performed some of the first heart transplants in Britain and the first heart-lung transplants in Europe. At London’s Harefield Hospital, he created the greatest heart transplant center in the world. Among his patients are men and women who are still thriving more than thirty-five years after he gave them new hope.

This story is also about science, the development of new medical techniques, and a deeper understanding of how the human body works. Today, at an age when most people have long since retired, Yacoub is still pushing the boundaries of scientific understanding and surgical know-how. He is also taking heart surgery to places that until now have had little access to cardiac treatment, developing centers of excellence across Africa, including in Egypt, where his hospital in Aswan has an international reputation, and a new center is rising in Cairo.

Yacoub’s life is one of triumph and tragedy, success and failure, fierce criticism and high praise—it is also an enthralling journey through the worlds of scientific research and medical politics and ethics at the highest levels.

传奇心脏外科医生和科学家Magdi Yacoub非凡的人生故事，一个在逆境中成功的人 资深记者西蒙·佩里森和弗吉尼娅·古尔曼跟随杰出的心脏外科医生Magdi Yacoub的惊人一生。从他在埃及的成长岁月开始，经过开罗大学的辉煌成就，再到他在英国长期而光辉的职业生涯。 尽管他有时与伦敦的医学界产生冲突，Yacoub却在心脏手术领域开创了巨大的进步。1992年，他被封为爵士，并于2014年荣获女王亲自颁发的最高荣誉——大英帝国勋章。 本书通过前所未有的访问权限和详尽的采访与研究，讲述了Yacoub如何改变了先天性心脏病儿童的治疗方式。他在英国进行了首批心脏移植手术，在欧洲实现了首次心脏-肺联合移植手术。在伦敦哈里费尔医院，他创造了世界上最大的心脏移植中心。他的患者中包括一些至今仍在三十多年后蓬勃发展的人。 这个故事也是关于科学、新医疗技术的发展以及对人体如何运作的更深层次理解的故事。如今，当大多数人早已退休时，Yacoub仍在推动科学认知和外科知识的边界。他还把心脏手术带到了以前几乎没有心血管治疗资源的地方，特别是在非洲建立了卓越中心，包括他在亚历山大医院享有国际声誉的埃及医院，并在开罗正在建立新的中心。 Yacoub的生活是一部胜利与悲剧、成功与失败、严厉批评与崇高赞誉的故事。它也是科学研究和医学政治及伦理领域最高层次的一段令人着迷的旅程。
