Memoirs of Medical Odyssey: Dr. Albert H. Yurvati Writes “Wet My Hands” and “This to Me”

Distinguished emeritus professor at the University of North Texas Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Albert H. Yurvati authors “Wet My Hands” (2022) and “This to Me” (2023) — narratives that offer an intimate glimpse into the life of a seasoned cardiothoracic surgeon turned caregiver and, ultimately, a patient battling the formidable foe of multiple myeloma.

“Wet My Hands” recounts Dr. Yurvati’s pinnacle as a surgical maestro abruptly disrupted by a diagnosis that would reshape his entire existence. A personal chronicle of achievements, detours, and a love story ever so beautiful, Dr. Yurvati takes readers on a journey through the labyrinth of medical uncertainties, reflecting on life’s fragility.

In the blink of an eye, the Fates—as Dr. Yurvati relates to ancient Greeks—cut some of his life cords, revealing a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. A thoracic surgeon by trade, he faces an adversary he’s accustomed to removing, not confronting within himself. “Wet My Hands” explores the intricacies of battling cancer, the highs and lows, the indignities of treatment, all while simultaneously caring for his wife—the purest golden thread of his life—Sharon, who had suffered a stroke.

“‘Wet My Hands’ is one man’s testament to surviving and if we may be so bold actually ‘thriving’ despite his time under the proverbial wheel… a powerful book that offers hope that, no matter what happens, tomorrow just might be a better day,” writes David Allen of the Hollywood Book Reviews.

“This to Me,” the sequel to Dr. Yurvati’s journey, continues to untangle the threads of fate that have shaped his life. With humor, history, and passion, he shares the ongoing saga of his life, navigating the challenges of being a caregiver turned patient.

Beyond the pages, Dr. Yurvati’s recent billboard campaign at The New York Times Square and an exclusive author interview with Writers’ Branding have brought his story to a wider audience. His online presence at www.yurvatibooks.com provides an accessible platform for readers to connect with the author and explore the profound tales encapsulated in his books.

A beacon of inspiration for those navigating the intricate threads of uncertainties, Dr. Albert H. Yurvati shares his life in “Wet My Hands” and “This to Me,” available on Amazon and other major online bookstore retailers.
