Every heartbeat has a story. Some end too soon. Some refuse to be forgotten.
As a surgeon, Dr. Anand Shankar Soundararajan has spent a lifetime standing at the fragile intersection of life and death, where every decision carries the weight of hope and fear of the unknown. In Arrhythmia, he opens the doors to the operating theatre and the human stories that unfold beyond it.
Through deeply moving, true accounts drawn from decades of medical practice, this memoir captures moments of extraordinary courage, heartbreaking loss, unexpected resilience, and the profound bonds forged between doctors, patients, and families. These are stories of lives forever altered by the unpredictable rhythms of fate.
Moving and deeply reflective, Arrhythmia is a powerful reminder that medicine is as much about humanity as it is about healing.
Long after the final page, these unforgettable stories will continue to echo like heartbeats—broken but resilient.
