Ticker by Mimi Swartz is the story of the artificial heart. Dr. O. H. âBudâ Frazier's is the name that stands out the most even though the book is a look at the science and all the scientists involved. At times, it is unclear whether this book is an objective story of the artificial heart or a biography of Dr. Frazier. More often than not, it seems like the latter. This book is part science, part medical drama, and part philosophical discussion on the medical ethics.
