BEYOND THE OPERATING ROOM: 

DR. AL YURVATI’S LIFE AND LEGACY 

A surgeon’s tale of love, resilience, and the unseen threads of Fate. 

by SAM CARTER 

What would you do if you’re at the pinnacle of 

your life, love, and career, but things suddenly 

take a turn? In this exclusive feature with Writers’ 

Branding, in partnership with The Reading Glass 

Books, Dr. Al Yurvati invites us into the labyrinth 

of his experiences, where love, adversity, and 

the unrelenting march of time intertwine. 

The Soldier. The Surgeon. 

The Soul Mate. 

In the quiet suburbs of Allentown, Pennsylvania, 

where childhood dreams are often stirred, a 

young Albert H. Yurvati found himself dreaming. 

Remembering back in 8th grade, Dr. Yurvati saw 

the acclaimed Michael DeBakey in a magazine 

and thought how extraordinary his significance 

on medicine is—never thinking he would also 

make an impact in the profession 50 years later. 

A unique trajectory, starting with the US Army, 

Dr. Yurvati not only discovered his passion for 

medicine but also found the love of his life, the 

ever-beautiful Sharon, during his advanced 

medic training for the military. When Sharon 

declared [NV], “If you’re not going to become 

a doctor, I am not marrying you,” that was when 

Dr. Yurvati knew Sharon was the one. She really 

saw and changed Dr. Yurvati’s life, inspiring him 

to be his best—something Dr. Yurvati never 

thought he had in him. 

Being an army medic, suturing up in the ER, 

cardiothoracic surgery was the epitome of 

what he thought to be a great career. And it 

turned out to be true! With multiple successful 

operations, he defined surgery, now called the 

Yurvati procedure. At the pinnacle of his career, 

Dr. Yurvati was a 10-year medical professor, was 

chair of the Board of Surgery and later executive 

director, and published a significant number of 

surgery cases. Now an emeritus professor at the 

University of North Texas Health Science Center, 

Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. 

Yurvati’s career indeed soared to great heights. 

Renowned nationally and internationally as 

an academic cardiothoracic surgeon, he left a 

significant mark on the medical world. 

Fast forward to the present, and Dr. Yurvati’s 

journey has become one founded in fortitude. 

Little did he know that life’s unexpected twists 

would soon redefine his purpose and challenge 

his resilience. Life truly had its own plans. 

From Surgeon to 

Caregiver to Patient. 

In a cruel twist of fate, Dr. Yurvati’s life took a 

sharp turn when his beloved wife, Sharon, 

suffered a thrombotic stroke. The seasoned 

surgeon transitioned seamlessly into the role 

of a caregiver, navigating the challenges of 

supporting his soulmate through recovery.


As if the Fates themselves were orchestrating his 

narrative, Dr. Yurvati faced another staggering 

blow in 2020—a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, 

an incurable cancer of the bone marrow. The 

surgeon turned caregiver became a patient, 

forced to confront the harsh realities of his own 

mortality. 

A Continuation of Life and Legacy. 

When asked about how he plays with the cards 

dealt to him, Dr. Yurvati’s positive outlook on 

life shines through. “It’s resiliency… Every time 

there’s a complication, instead of letting it get 

to you, you just [have] to figure out, ‘How am I 

going to get over that bump? How am I going 

to keep going?’ I think the driving force is also 

Sharon—taking care of her. We’re going to be 

married 50 years next year. It’s like half a century 

of being with somebody, and having that focus 

and that being my soulmate, I think that’s kind of 

the driving force that makes me want to continue 

[to] push.” 

story exemplifies the enduring strength of the 

human spirit. 

With a rollercoaster ride of a life, setbacks did 

not hold Dr. Yurvati aback. His situation needed 

him to change, and so he had to—it turned out it 

was for the better. 

“ 

Take a look and reflect about 

who you are, where you are, 

what you want to do… If you 

hate your job, it’s not worth 

doing it, you [have] to change. 

And sometimes that’s the 

hardest thing—looking at 

that, reassessing, and making 

a change. 

“ 

Welcome to Dr. Al Yurvati’s journey. 

With the advice from one of their clinic’s 

psychologists, “You have to have your brain 

rethink now that you’re different,” Dr. Yurvati 

reinvented himself. When Sharon wrote books, 

he was also inspired to publish his own. And so, 

with his debut medical memoir, Wet My Hands, 

Dr. Yurvati bares his soul, infusing the narrative 

with humor, history, and passion. The title, a nod 

to a surgical tradition, takes on new meaning as 

Dr. Yurvati reflects on the instability of life and 

the strength found in wet hands tying knots. 

The story does not end with a cancer diagnosis. 

Dr. Yurvati’s resilience continues in his literary 

expression found in This to Me, a sequel 

where he explores deeper into the story of 

his life, sharing a heartwarming journey with 

Sharon. Looking ahead, Dr. Yurvati hints at a 

third book, teasing readers with the promise of 

more revelations and reflections. As he plans to 

commemorate his 50th wedding anniversary, 

we can only anticipate another chapter in the 

extraordinary life of Dr. Yurvati—a man whose

navigated World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War. Commissioned in 1956, Manny 

flew carrier-based aircraft, including nuclear-capable planes. Vietnam War deployments 

saw him in F-4 Phantoms and A-7 Corsair IIs, tallying 300+ combat missions. Amid personal 

challenges, Manny found solace in spiritual revelations from his departed aunt Jean. Grateful 

for God’s grace despite personal failings, Manny embraces a ministry to share his miraculous 

experiences, encouraging others to recognize the Holy Spirit within.

PLANTS 

by J. Dan Paquette 

Genre: Poetry 

Paperback: $16.77 

Publisher: Outskirts Press 

ISBN-13: 978-1478760863 


A celebration of all species, centrifuged into verse, Litany of the Plants is an exquisite 

collection of 52 poems—smug poems, poems expressing gratitude, poems of joy, satire, 

appreciation, romance, and rebellion—narrated by a variety of voices. These voices include 

a person near senility, a barroom ranter, a confessor, a clown, a bureaucrat, a racist, and 

a romantic, while three different travelers narrate the North Dakota poems. There are 

consumers of scientific research, the observer of nature, and even a fern that offers an 

observation about landscape paintings. Written primarily in free verse and rich in slant rhyme 

and consonance, these poems feature a curiosity about life, science, and the struggle for 

existence. Flowing like an undercurrent throughout the collection is a celebration of scientific 

inquiry and its accomplishments...and the joy to be found in the natural world.

gets taken away from you, leaving you in a deep unknown abyss?

how he lost his consciousness. As Carlton seeks the help of two sisters with supernatural abilities, 

he avenges the men that did him harm while slowly picking himself back up. Carlton: Down Sized is 

a thrilling read that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

FAITH FROM: A MOTHER’S SOUL 

MOVES MOUNTAINS 

MARY ALBERT 

Inspired by Renee Williams 



Dimensions: 6.0 x 9.0 inches 

NEW EDITION COMING SOON 

A riveting story of a young single mother 

providing for and raising her twins; trying to 

give the best life she can. Tragedy strikes and 

now Karen is at a crossroads. Knowing that 

her son’s life hangs in the balance she cannot 

make this choice lightly. She will have to live 

with the consequences of her decision. There 

is pressure all around her but this is a decision 

she must make on her own. All the while praying 

that she makes the right decision. Does she 

take and believe the Wisdom of the Doctors? Or 

does she stand on her own and Walk by Faith 

and not by Sight? 

Mary Albert grew up on a small farm in Central 

Illinois with a curiosity for the world. Exploring 

the world through youth exchanges and then 

finishing her studies in Switzerland, Mary found 

out that the more she saw of the world, the more 

she wanted to see. She chose the travel and 

hospitality industry as a way to feed her hunger 

for travel. In the process of traveling, she saw 

many of the great and wonderful things that God 

put in this world. He gave every place in the

world something special—one just has to open 

their eyes and their heart to see it. God also gave 

Mary the gift of writing, so she can tell the stories 

not only of the places He made but also of the 

miracles that He performs in our daily lives. Mary 

befriended Renee at an ICCM conference, and 

as their friendship grew, Renee started helping 

Mary with her faith journey by sharing her own. 

This became the inspiration behind Faith From: 

A Mother’s Soul Moves Mountains.

Albert H. Yurvati, , DO, PhD, DFACOS, FACOS, FICS, FAHA, is an 

emeritus professor at the University of North Texas Health Science 

Center, Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. He grew up in 

Allentown, Pennsylvania, and left for the US Army, where he met his soul 

mate, Sharon. 

After medical school, he completed two residencies 

and was an academic cardiothoracic surgeon 

of national and international renown. When 

Sharon suffered an acute thrombotic stroke, he 

transitioned to become a caregiver. In 2020, 

he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, 

an incurable cancer of the bone marrow, 

and he transitioned yet again, this time to 

a patient. 

“Above all, you will find here a 

love story—one peppered with 

detours and achievements and 

lives saved, perseverance and 

triumphs, crushing diagnoses, 

and beat-the-odds rallies.” —

THE ENCHANTMENT 

OF POETRY II 

LADY SARAH PARIS 

Genre: Poetry 


Dimensions: 6.0” x 9.0” 

The Enchantment of Poetry II marks an intriguing collaboration between an artist and a poet. Dr. 

Georgios D. Kordis, a professor, theologian, and influential artist of his time, created the fine art 

drawings. A renowned, world-class iconographer in the Byzantine tradition, Kordis has introduced 

surrealistic and impressionistic influences that create amazing images that add to Byzantine art 

traditions. In this volume, the works of Kordis are accompanied by the ideologies and scenarios 

presented by poetess and muse Lady Sarah Paris. Her poem’s topics range from historical and 

religious subjects to romantic and mythical imagery. 

Lady Paris’ poetry encompasses her insights, opinions, fantasies, research, and experiences to 

realize the depth of the connection between Kordis’ art and her writings. Finding inspiration in the 

Master Painter, Lady Paris has written very special poems, songs, and stories referencing these 

wonderful fine art treasures. The Enchantment of Poetry brings together two art forms that benefit 

from the presence of the other in this enchanting, illustrated collection.

VICTOR AND 

THE TACTIBBARLEMAC 

JAN ATKINSON 


Genre: Action & Adventure 

Publisher: Reading Glass Books 

ISBN-13: 978-1962497299 


This is a fictional story about animals and people of all kinds living happily together in the 

land of Kemerick. Everyone got along until tragedy struck and the camels, rabbits, and cats 

became jealous of each other and started fighting. A Sorcerer appeared and demanded that 

the animals stop fighting. When they didn’t, he roared back into town and used his magic 

sword to change them into an animal that had attributes of all three of them—a camelrabbitcat 

or TACTIBBARLEMAC. The tactibbarlemacs were washed away in a flood and lived happily 

underground until curious Tacti found his way back to Kemerick and wound up in a house 

where he met baby Victor. And the adventures began… 

Jan Atkinson is an attorney who has been writing short stories for over 

forty years. The concept of a “tactibarrlemac” (camel rabbit cat) 

was created while in college. When her grandson, Victor, was 

an infant she began entertaining him with stories about the 

funny animal named Tacti and his adventures. Jan is a 

Baltimore native now living in Raleigh and enjoys 

being “Nan,” playing golf, and cheering for her 

Maryland sports teams.
