In this episode, we start at the beginning. We talk to Dr. Vinayak Kamath, who shares the story of Naesha dying for 28 minutes, needing a heart transplant, and recovering without receiving one.

Dr. Kamath is an Emeritus Professor of Cardiac Surgery at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta GA. He was chief of cardiac surgery at University Hospital until 2010 before moving to MCG as chief in 2011 and retiring in 2018.

Heart Matters

Hosted by Dr. Naesha Parks, the Heart Matters Podcast delves into matters of the heart and recovery. Dr. Parks has had a number of spiritual encounters which have contributed to her strong faith, culminating with a medical incident just 9 days after childbirth that left her literally dead on the operating table. She was put in a coma to save her life and miraculously made a complete recovery. Now, she's taking the lessons from that event and from her book: The Heart Feels it First, to share other recovery stories and bring hope through the Heart Matters Podcast.
