John Wright 
The Whispering Surgeon 
The Making of McKenzie

John Wright’s moving novel is based entirely on real events and people, countless experiences, reliable testimony and recorded history. The Whispering Surgeon explores the surgical life of Paddy Mc Kenzie and his freakish skills, tireless dedication, courage, wisdom and innovation. The very human story of Paddy Mc Kenzie’s own battles will keep the reader spellbound by the depth and selflessness of his involvement in devastated lives and flagging hopes of the damaged and disillusioned. John Wright calls on his great experience as a cardiothoracic surgeon to tell the wonderful, endearing story of Mc Kenzie, the ‘surgical whisperer’.
