Dr. Albert H. Yurvati, a name synonymous with excellence in cardiothoracic surgery, has recently added two remarkable books to his repertoire, capturing his extraordinary journey through the highs and lows of life with humbling grace. His medical memoirs, “Wet My Hands” and “This to Me,” are an intimate look into his personal battles and triumphs, enriching the fields of both oncology and autobiographical literature.

In “Wet My Hands,” Dr. Yurvati navigates readers through the beginning of his life changes with a narrative that is both engaging and deeply personal. The book’s title, derived from a practice in surgical training, symbolically represents the stability and precision required not just in surgery, but in life’s unpredictable journey. From a prestigious career as an academic cardiothoracic surgeon to facing the devastating news of multiple myeloma, Dr. Yurvati’s story is one for braving adaptability.

The memoir begins with a startling diagnosis that alters the trajectory of his life.

Reviewers have praised “Wet My Hands” for its vibrant and conversational prose. Hollywood Book Reviews lauds the book for its powerful message of perseverance, being reminded by Norman Cousins’ “Anatomy of An Illness.” With an Excellent Merit, the review underscores the memoir’s compelling mix of humor and heartache that provides both comfort and inspiration to readers navigating their own challenges.

This sequel dives deeper into the medical and emotional aspects of his experiences, offering a rich blend of technical insight and personal narrative. “This to Me” has been described as “vital and almost poetic,” being a Notable Book by the Pacific Book Review for its impactful and dynamic storytelling.

More than just personal accounts, both books are valuable resources for those in the oncology field and beyond. The memoirs provide an unflinching look at the realities of living with cancer while maintaining a focus on hope and perseverance.
