Sandeep Jauhar is director of the Heart Failure Program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. He is the New York Times bestselling author of two medical memoirs and a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times. He lives on Long Island with his wife and their son and daughter.
`Cardiologist Jauhar moves beautifully between “dual tracks” of
“learning about the heart…but also what was in my heart,”… Covering
enough physiology to make scientific details easily understood,
Jauhar emphasizes how brave, desperate, and sometimes foolhardy
experiments led to important developments, such as the heart-lung
machine… Jauhar is thoughtful, self-reflective, and profoundly
respectful of doctors and patients alike; readers will respond by
opening their own hearts a little bit, to both grief and
wonder.’

*Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All
Maladies, on Doctored*
