Cardiac surgeon Samer Nashef is author of The Naked Surgeon and The Angina Monologues. The memoirs describe life inside the operating theatre: from emergency surgeries to operating in the Palestinian West Bank. What do you draw upon when faced with life and death situations? And what advice might a cardiac surgeon give to those going under the knife? Samer speaks with Aotearoa author of A Mistake, Carl Shuker.
