Today, the care of the heart has become less the province of philosophers, who dwell upon the heart's metaphorical meanings, and more the domain of doctors like me, wielding technologies that even a century ago, because of the heart's exalted status in human culture, were considered taboo.
Danas je briga o srcu postala manje domenom filozofa, koji promišljaju o metaforičnim značenjima srca, a više domenom liječnika poput mene, koji barataju tehnologijama koje bi čak i prije jednog stoljeća zbog uzvišenog statusa koji srce ima u ljudskoj kulturi, bile smatrane tabuom.
