The personal story of a heart attack by the doctor who treated it.Michael Halberstam, M.D.and the man who had it.Stephan Lesher. ALSO KNOWN AS: A portion of this book appeared in somewhat different form in the article "After a Heart Attack" in the January 27, 1974, New York Times Magazine, copyright 1974 by The New York Times Company. JACKET DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPH BY: Don Bender. SYNOPSIS: Stephan Lesher was pulling out all the stops on the biggest story of his Newsweek career--the Watergate Affair--when he felt the first pains. "I was frightened. I thought I had suffered a heart attack. No kidding. And I was just thirty-eight." Exhausted after a full day's work, Dr. Michael Halberstam was about to leave his office and pick up his laundry when Lesher telephoned him. "Lesher kept babbling on, and all of a sudden he was babbling about chest pains. Chest pains? No cardiologist thinks about laundry when someone is telling him about chest pains." A Coronary Event is the brutally honest, intimate, and surprisingly funny narrative of how these two men find themselves embroiled in an emotional tug-of-war as well as a confrontation with America's number-one killer--heart attack. Lesher, always a fierce competitor, suffering from serious marital problems, must deal with questions he has never before asked himself. "Would I love? Could I work again? Could I make love? Or would it be a rocking chair and a lifetime subscription to Playboy?" Halberstam, also having domestic difficulties, must simultaneously treat a balky patient whose goal seems to be the total undermining of hospital procedures, impress upon that patient the seriousness of his illness without terrifying him, and face his own personal health fears. "I'm not immune. My father died of a heart attack at fifty, and he was a physician too." Gradually, each man becomes the central character in the other's life. A Coronary Event is a book whose human drama and dynamic narrative style make for a consistently intriguing medical documentary. Michael Halberstam, M.D., brother of David Halberstam, is a Washington, D.C., internist and cardiologist, lecturer, and author whose writing has appeared in a number of major magazines. Stephan Lesher is the legal affairs correspondent for Newsweek. He has also written for The New York Times Magazine. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library.…
