Book description
El 13 de octubre de 1972, un avión de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya, que llevaba al equipo de rugby Old Christians--y muchos de sus amigos y familiares-- se estrelló en medio de la cordillera de los Andes. Tenía que sobrevivir es el relato cautivante y desgarrador de esa larga experiencia con la muerte que impulso a uno de sus sobrevivientes, Roberto Canessa, a convertirse en uno de los cardiólogos infantiles más conocidos en el mundo.Cuando atendía a sus compañeros heridos en medio de la carnicería devastadora que produjo el accidente, Roberto Canessa, que en aquel entonces tenía diecinueve años y era un estudiante de segundo año de medicina, se sintió la persona más afortunada del planeta: estaba vivo-- y por eso mismo, debía estar eternamente agradecido. Mientras el grupo famélico luchaba por sobrevivir, más allá de los límites de lo imaginable, Canessa jugó un rol fundamental para salvar a los demás sobre-vivientes, atravesando, con un compañero, la cordillera de los Andes, examines y sin ningún tipo de equipo, en busca de ayuda. Esta delgada línea entre la vida y la muerte se transformó en un catalizador para el resto de su vida. Tenía que sobrevivir trata de un iluminador relato de esperanza y determinación, solidaridad e ingenio, que aporta une nueva perspectiva a una historia mundialmente concocia. Canessa traza un paralelismo único u fascinante entre su trabajo diagnosticando cardiopatías congénitas muy complejas en niños recién nacidos u fetos, y las decisiones difíciles de vida o muerte que fue forzado a tomar en los Andes. Con ternura y humanismo, Canessa nos incita a preguntarnos: ¿Que hacer cunado todo está tu contra?
