From a Tuscan village to global acclaim, this memoir follows a pioneering heart surgeon’s journey through triumphs, challenges and self-discovery. Blending personal reflection with medical insight, it reveals the humanity behind the scalpel and offers an honest, inspiring portrait of resilience, compassion and dedication in modern medicine.
Gianni Angelini’s dedication, skill, resilience and adaptability have left an enduring mark on the field of cardiac surgery.
From humble beginnings in Tuscany, his childhood dream of becoming an airline pilot was dashed by a congenital eye defect, which redirected him towards a career in medicine. Guided by his family’s modest background, this decision took him across continents and through some of the most challenging and rewarding experiences in modern healthcare.
His steadfast leadership during the Bristol Babies Scandal reflected his deep commitment to patients and clinical excellence.
This memoir is more than a chronicle of surgical milestones; it is a compelling collection of true stories, revealing the emotional and psychological realities of life as a surgeon. Honest, reflective and inspiring, it explores both mistakes and triumphs, offering rare insight into the human side of surgery.
A Knife to the Heart reminds us that behind every mask lies a person with dreams, fears and an unwavering commitment to making a difference.
