A Romance with the Heart

About this ebook
Diagnosed with a heart condition that promised to keep him bedridden for the rest of his life, Anders couldn’t believe his ears when the new doctor told him to get out of bed and live a normal life. That was when Anders knew he had to become a doctor.
This chronicle, the true story of a journey from small-town boy to highly respected heart specialist, is filled with life’s insights and triumphs—and an insider’s look at how heart medicine developed and evolved in the 20th century.
The book’s genuineness and honesty will engage you; its historical revelations will fascinate you. And, in the end, you will be enriched and glad to have met and known the man this book calls Anders Erickssen.
