When death becomes life. Routine physician transplant

Joshua Mezrich sheds light on one of the most important, amazing and awe inspiring achievements of modern medicine: an organ transplant from person to person. In this deeply personal and incredibly touching book, he covers an amazing field of transplantation, allowing miracles to happen every day, and also talks about the incredible doctors, donors and patients who are at the center of this almost unimaginable world. The author invites us into the operating room and demonstrates the remarkable process of organ transplantation: refined, but a dynamic dance that requires precise timing, impressive skills and sometimes creative improvisation. Most of the doctors fight death, but transplant receive from the death benefit. Mezrich talks about how he is grateful for the privilege to be a part of the incredible exchange between the living and the dead.
