Memoirs of a Medical Maverick

Refreshingly, and sometimes shockingly, honest memoir from the internationally renowned cardiologist and best-selling author, Risteard Mulcahy. As the son of a well-known politician and national military hero, some might think Mulcahy's life would have been one of comfort and privilege - but they'd be wrong. Medical Maverick offers a unique insight into the rich, varied, and extraordinary life of one of the most prominent and respected men in Ireland. Risteard Mulcahy is a well-known public figure, health commentator, and campaigner on numerous issues. Formerly head of the cardiology department and the heart disease research unit at St. Vincent's Hospital in Dublin, he is a former president of the Irish Medical Association and was one of the founders of the Irish Heart Association.
