I have a special fondness for books about medicine, and this one will be one from 2019 that I remember and recommend to others to read. It is a good reminder to us that our lives can change in an instant and that any of us could be the person who will need an organ transplant to survive. Joshua Mezrich has spent most of his career as a doctor doing organ transplants and as well as serving an an interesting memoir, his book tells us about the history of organ transplant and the amazing advances that have been made in the past 60 years.
I have no problem with being an organ donor especially with those internal organs that I have no connection with, and his discussions and stories about donors are handled with the respect and honor that they are due. A great book to read that must surely make every reader sign up and a good way to discuss with your family about what your wishes would be. 5/5

I think organ transplants are one of the fields of medicine the advances in which can be seen by everyone, which is always encouraging.
