While learning first hand how Arun Singh became not just the surgeon but also the man that he is, all Americans can be inspired by this story of hard work and the American Dream. It is a compelling example of the important role that immigrants have often played in helping to make our country great. Also kudos to John Hanc for helping to capture Arun's true voice. Well done – a must read!"

Your Heart My Hands An Immigrant Remarkable Journey to Become One of America Preeminent Cardiac Surgeons Arun K Singh Delos Cosgrove John Hanc 9781546082989 Books Reviews
- A memorable, important biography of a world-class medical hero Dr. Arun Singh tells a fascinating epic of our time. His memoir, "Your Heart, My Hands," is woven with frankness, pain and humor out of five story lines the miraculous scientific development of cardiology; the struggles and triumphs of a young Indian doctor who. after overcoming two broken arms and dyslexia. came to America with five dollars to become one of the America’s preeminent cardiac surgeons; dramatic vignettes of the lives of some of his 15,000 open heart surgical patients; a candid insight into Indian and American hospital politics; and a blunt forecast of the coming critical crisis in healthcare. As Dr. Singh has held human hearts safely and firmly in his hand, he holds the reader on his lifetime adventure.
- In keeping with Dr. Singhs Childhood passion, "kites fly against, not with the wind". Some struggle and resistance are important in our development and who we become. Dr. Singhs life as outlined in "Your Heart, My Hands" is a testament to the human spirits ability to overcome what may appear to be insurmountable obstacles. Dr. Singhs legacy is not only in the 15,000 hearts he directly touched, and tens of thousands of family members- it is also in the countless people he encouraged to pursue their dreams. I had the good fortune of rotating on Dr. Singhs service as a surgical resident. He was instrumental in my pursuing my dream to become a cardiac surgeon. This book is a must read, I think, for many genre of readers.
- Dr. Singh's life is an inspiration. His compelling story is one of overcoming countless hurdles through intellect and sheer determination. It is a story of humanness laid bare. In many ways, it is a love story for his immediate and extended family and his thousands of patients. The memoir was a joy to read and an example of personal triumph in his journey from rural India to American prominence.
Sarah - Arun Singh’s legendary surgical skills are well known to the southern New England cardiology community, as well as to broad swaths of the public. His remarkable skills, as well as the reliably outstanding outcomes that he routinely achieved, will never be duplicated. Now, those who mainly knew the professional side of Dr. Singh can be entertained by these wonderful tales of his colorful youth and his professional as well as personal development. While learning first hand how Arun Singh became not just the surgeon but also the man that he is, all Americans can be inspired by this story of hard work and the American Dream. It is a compelling example of the important role that immigrants have often played in helping to make our country great. Also kudos to John Hanc for helping to capture Arun's true voice. Well done – a must read!
- I have had the distinct honor of working with Dr. Singh. As a nurse, I witnessed the many hours he dedicated to his patients. He was humble, compassionate yet “all business†in his focus. In reading his book, I was amazed by the story behind the man. It is a story of family, faith and commitment to succeed. It is a timely story for those who question the importance of welcoming an immigrant’s value adding status. A must read for those in medicine who need a lift in spirit and for anyone else who wishes to “cheer a fighterâ€on!
Bravo, Dr. Arun Singh. Joyce - While growing up in Rhode Island it was virtually impossible to escape the the larger than life tales of a talented cardiac surgeon, whose hands healed so many broken hearts. Throughout the years, Dr. Singh had repaired many of my own relatives’ damaged hearts. His name would come up with heartfelt gratitude during family gatherings. Yet, I knew very little about this man whose precious hands added years of life to many of my own flesh and blood. After reading “Your Heart, My Hands,†I now feel like he is an old friend who I could call up and invite over for dinner. His story is a compelling look into the heart of an ordinary man who overcame adversity and accomplished extraordinary things. The book is a fantastic read.
- Having been part of Dr. Singh's team,I have always held him with the upmost respect.
I too remember the late night calls,and how he'd sleep in his office when he was concerned about a patient.
Knowing how he struggled to become the renowned surgeon he became, has made me respect him even more.
This was a wonderfully written book that shared a personal side of a wonderful surgeon and man.
Thank you for your years of dedication.
Lynette - An absorbing and inspiring tale of an immigrant, one of us. This is also an American story, as one Frenchman once said a true American is an immigrant., again one of us. Many have saved lives more than Dr. Singh, however, few have done in his manner laboring through his hands 24/7 in over 40 years with utter concentration and dedication. In that regard, it is an extraordinary task that the young should aspire and continue to make America great.
