No Regrets, No Apologies is an improbable memoir of a man who was a heart surgeon, a mountain climber and a doctor who worked for humanitarian organizations. The narrative takes the reader through a kaleidoscope of scenes--a troubled childhood in a small California town, cardiac surgery gone awry, a group of mountaineers trapped in a snow cave on Nanga Parbat in Pakistan, a humanitarian surgical team working in the besieged city of Misurata during the Libyan civil war. Sometimes with humility and humour, often with brutal honesty the author weaves a story of his turbulent life. The tale is replete with frustrations and successes, triumphs and tragedies. There is a failed marriage followed by a fulfilling love. Your hair will stand on end during some passages describing events in operating rooms around the world and you will experience the fear of climbing cold, remote peaks. You will smile frequently, occasionally you will laugh out loud and you may even shed a few tears while reading this fascinating book. Finally you will understand the forces that shaped this man's extraordinary life.
