That research ultimately transformed not only his approach to patient care, but also his understanding of medicine itself. Then life delivered an unexpected twist. While preparing to publish his book Heal , Dr. Parsa discovered he had a 100% blockage in a major coronary artery and would require open-heart surgery.
