About this item

by Aaron J. Feingold (Author)

In the quiet hum of an exam room, where stethoscopes listen to more than heartbeats, Dr. Aaron Feingold has spent four decades bearing witness to life's most raw, absurd, and luminous moments. Beyond being a mere memoir of medicine Cardiology Tales is a symphony of humanity, played through the rhythm of 99 stories that pulse with humor, heartache, and the quiet heroism of ordinary lives.

From the elderly man who still cries for a son lost forty years ago, to the sharp-tongued Long Island socialite whose hidden past unravels during a routine checkup, these tales reveal what EKGs cannot: the fragile, fierce, and often hilarious dance between bodies and souls. Feingold's prose is wry, compassionate, and unflinchingly honest, and it transforms clinical encounters into universal parables. A condom becomes a metaphor for love's impermanence. A forgotten Yankees T-shirt mends a fractured family. A stolen cameo brooch unspools generations of grief and resilience.

Like Anton Chekhov meets Isaac Bashevis Singer meets Raymond Carver, Cardiology Tales stitches together the sacred and the absurd, proving that the human heart is both a muscle and a mosaic. For anyone who's ever laughed in a waiting room, wept at a diagnosis, or wondered what secrets lie behind a doctor's pen, this collection is a prescription for rediscovering what connects us all.
