Explores the meanings of the human heart as interpreted by two traditions: medical science and the much older cultural traditions. This book interlaces medical and linguistic information with the stories of four heart patients, each with different illnesses and different personal approaches to healing.
Our Human Hearts is a nonfiction exploration of the meanings of the human heart as interpreted by two traditions: medical science, which has made possible dramatic cardiac surgery and sophisticated drug treatments, and the much older cultural traditions that view the heart as a repository for wisdom, courage, emotion, and the soul. Carter interlaces medical and linguistic information with the stories of four heart patients, each with different illnesses and different personal approaches to healing. Much has been written about the heart from a medical standpoint, but few experts have explored the human side of the heart by giving a voice to the patients. ""Our Human Hearts"" will be appreciated by the medical community, cardiology patients and their families, and anyone interested in the meaning and health of the human heart.
