Summary:  "On October 12, 1972, a Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying members of a rugby team - and many of their friends and family members - crashed into the Andes Mountains. A gripping recollection of the harrowing brink-of-death experience that propelled survivor Roberto Canessa to become a leading pediatric cardiologist. As he tended to his wounded teammates amidst the devastating carnage of the wreck, rugby player Roberto Canessa, a second-year medical student at the time, realized that no one on earth was luckier: he was alive, and for that, he should be eternally grateful. As the starving group struggled beyond the limits of what seemed possible, Canessa journeyed with a companion across the hostile mountain range for help. This fine line between life and death became the catalyst for the rest of his life. Canessa also draws a parallel between his work as a doctor performing arduous heart surgeries on infants and unborn babies and the difficult life-changing decisions he was forced to make in the Andes. Dr. Roberto Canessa was one of sixteen young rugby players who endured months of severe cold, injuries, starvation, and isolation after their plane crashed into the snowcapped Andes - an event that inspired the film Alive. He is a pediatric cardiologist recognized worldwide for his work, particularly with newborn patients and patients in utero, at the Italian Hospital of Montevideo."--Provided by publisher.
