The Physician's Perspective
Shiv Harsh is a US Board Certified Internist and Cardiologist with over twenty years of private medical practice experience. He lives with his wife of 44 years in North Carolina, USA. He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a Member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom.
He wrote a newspaper column for over six years and blogs about health and philosophy. His Healthy Living Series bridges the gap between clinical expertise and philosophical inquiry, offering readers a practical roadmap for the body and the spirit.
When he is not reading or writing, he enjoys growing vegetables organically in his garden. Much to his wife's chagrin, he also potters around in the kitchen and tries his hand at exotic recipes.
