Sequel underscores leaps made in heart care
Martha Weinman Lear, author of “Heartsounds,” published a second book more than two decades later about her own experiences with heart disease. In “Heartsounds” she castigated the medical community for callous care of her husband during a protracted heart illness. As described in this New York Times book review, “Echoes of Heartsounds” chronicles a much improved hospital environment.
