PAPA CADO. "I'm not afraid to die, I've been close so many times." PAPA CADO is the poignant, sometimes hilarious, and terribly inspirational first-person account of Arthur Mercado, a kind, humble man with a will of steel. A man who may hold the unofficial Guinness Book of Records for the most combined heart procedures, 51, without actually dying. Yes, 51! The enlarged 4th Edition contains some sanguine new observations from Arthur that demonstrate his simple Will Rogers style sense of humor is alive and well, despite the onset of advanced stage Parkinson's.
