About
Ong Kah Hwee
I have been a cardiologist for thirty-four years. I grew up in Toa Payoh, trained in Singapore and spent most of my working life on a hospital cardiology ward. I now see people two days a week.
Most of what I do these days is explain. I give talks at community clubs and senior activity centres, draw the heart on a whiteboard and answer every question. The weekly letter does the same on paper. None of it replaces a visit with your own doctor.
He draws it on the whiteboard, and for the first time I understood how the heart works.
The letter
A letter every Sunday
One idea about how the heart works, in words you can read over coffee, and the dates of my next talks. Free, and short.
