A MEMOIR OF A FEMALE
HEART SURGEON
HEALING HEARTS
Kathy E. Magliato, MD
BROADWAY BOOKS New York
Over the years, I have treated many patients with heart disease. I am grateful to all of them for allowing me the opportunity to enter into their lives. All of the stories in this book are based on actual cases; however, in some of the examples I use, I have combined a number of elements, resulting in a composite of several individuals. And, of course, I have changed the names and distinguishing features of the men and women in this book in order to protect their privacy.
