See full description

He was a cardiologist at the top of his game-until his own body turned on him. On an ordinary Monday, a sudden cramp in Dr. Deepak Thekkoott's leg sent him on a harrowing journey from healer to patient. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he was thrown into the chaos of hospitals, chemo, and confronting death-all while trying to hold his family, his faith, and his sense of self together. Silk and Clay: A Physician's Journey of Cancer, Survival, and Restored Faith is a richly layered narrative that weaves together medicine, memory, and migration-told with unflinching honesty and spiritual depth. It is about what it means to heal when the cure might kill you, and to carry centuries of culture and love through each brutal day. With sharp detail, searing vulnerability, and flashes of dry wit, Dr. Deepak invites us into a body broken, a spirit searching, and a soul that refuses to be undone.

Dr. Deepak Thekkoott is a Brooklyn-based cardiologist known for combining clinical excellence with compassionate care. With decades of international experience in the U.S. and U.K., he currently practices at Maimonides Medical Center and helps train the next generation of heart specialists. A fellow of both the American College of Cardiology and the Royal College of Physicians, he holds seven board certifications in cardiovascular medicine. Born and educated in southern India, Dr. Thekkoott brings a global perspective to his work and life. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Deepa, and finds joy in serving others with what he calls "a heart filled with love." His son, Soorya, is pursuing graduate studies in mathematics after completing active duty service with the United States Air Force and currently serving for the Washington, DC Air National Guard.
