'Kickstart' is a collection of personal narratives drawn from Dr John England's patients who are recipients of pacemakers and from the doctor's own experience. As a cardiologist, and having had his own pacemaker for 35 years, Dr England has a unique insight into the issues facing pacemaker patients, from medical transparency and responsibility to the emotional support and encouragement which is so important in these cases. The book is informative, inspirational, and at times humorous.
