When Persistence and Providence Joined Hands: One Cardiac Surgeon's Journey - Paperback

by Surendra K. Chawla (Author)

Dr. Surendra K. Chawla is a prominent heart surgeon in the United States. In his richly textured memoir, When Persistence and Providence Joined Hands: One Cardiac Surgeon's Journey, Dr. Chawla traces his life from the age of five when he escaped the massacres occasioned by The Partition of India and Pakistan.

Dr. Chawla reflects on his childhood with his loving family, his challenging studies in both India and the U.S., and how he rose to success, building a world-class cardiac facility in Hartford, Connecticut, where he raised his family.

When Persistence and Providence Joined Hands asks the question we all face: Is life predetermined by an unknown power, or does it proceed by a combination of luck and determination? No matter what the answer, Dr. Chawla's narrative will inspire others to reflect on the intricate systems that define the paths we take.
