Samer Nashef at Harrogate International Festivals

Come along to The Crown Hotel, Harrogate on Thursday 7 November to hear cardiac surgeon and author of The Angina Monologues, Samer Nashef, in conversation with forensic scientist Angela Gallop, and statistician David Spiegelhalter. From transporting a donor’s heart up the motorway hard shoulder, to cautionary tales of excessive intervention gone awry in US hospitals. From a traumatic trip to bring advanced cardiac surgery to the Palestinian West Bank, Samer Nashef tells heart-stopping stories of transplants, coronary artery bypasses, aorta repair, and cardiac arrest. Enthralling, outspoken, and with a wonderful bedside manner, he also delivers humane advice about medical realities rarely observed: the futility of obsessing over diet, the necessity of calculating risks, the role of decision making, the resilience of doctor and patient alike, and the threadbare brilliance of the NHS.

Tickets cost £16 plus booking fee. For more information and to book tickets please visit the Harrogate International Festivals website.
