Description

The 1980s marked a revolution in the field of organ transplants, and Bud Shaw, MD, who studied under Tom Starzl in Pittsburgh, was on the front lines. Now retired from active practice, Dr. Shaw relays gripping moments of anguish and elation, frustration and reward, despair and hope in his struggle to save patients. He reveals harshly intimate moments of his medical career: telling a patient's husband that his wife has died during surgery; struggling to complete a 20-hour operation as mental and physical exhaustion inch closer and closer; and flying to retrieve a donor organ while the patient waits in the operating room. Within these more emotionally charged vignettes are quieter ones, too, like growing up in rural Ohio and being awakened late at night by footsteps in the hall as his father, also a surgeon, slipped out of the house to attend to a patient in the ER.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A bracing, unusual personal narrative that should appeal to aspiring physicians as well as to those considering the 'big questions' around high-risk surgery." ( Kirkus)

Pretty Good

Overall I was pleased great narration. Interesting clinical stories and personal anecdotes. My only gripe was I felt it didn't flesh out the surgical stories with sufficient detail (no pun intended) the author spent a little too much time on his chronologically disorganized personal stories about his siblings, friends and parents, failing to really satisfy that medical itch that I was craving. However this by no means means the audible is not worth it, if you are like me looking at the cover thinking this is purely surgical narratives then you are mistaken.
