Between the summers of 1996 and 1997, after a decade of surgical training in the USA, Charles Stewart Roberts went to the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, to train in paediatric cardiac surgery under the distinguished consultant cardiothoracic surgeon, Christopher Lincoln. Lincoln describes surgical training as 'stoking the fire"; tending it for a sufficient period of time, to grow accustomed to its heat. Roberts' personal memoir of his experience in London, inside and outside the hospital, is an account of surgical training under Lincoln, a personal insight about the surgical profession, as well an American perspective on life in England.
