ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Stephen Westaby

Stephen Westaby é um cirurgião cardiotorácico mundialmente reconhecido por ter sido o primeiro cirurgião na história a adaptar um novo tipo de coração artificial para um paciente, mostrando que os humanos não necessitam de pulsação na sua circulação.

Durante a sua carreira de 35 anos como cirurgião, trabalhou nos mais reputados hospitais do mundo e operou mais de 11 mil corações.

Em 2004 foi-lhe atribuído o Galardão Ray C. Fish for Scientific Achievement, uma das distinções mais importantes na área da Medicina dos EUA, que reconhece aqueles cujas inovações contribuem de forma significativa para a medicina e a cirurgia cardíaca.

Ainda em 2004, a BBC realizou o documentário Your Life in Their Hands sobre ele, dando a conhecer não só os seus feitos extraordinários enquanto cirurgião, mas também o homem por trás da máscara cirúrgica.
