Charles R Morris 'embedded' himself within a surgical team at Presbyterian Hospital New York City, one of the world's premier cardiac surgery and transplant centres. Given unprecedented access, Morris witnessed sophisticated operations and observed tense meetings where surgeons relentlessly criticise their own performances. In thrilling detail, Morris recounts a late-night against-the-clock 'harvest run' to secure a precious transplantable organ; the heart-breaking story of a child's failed transplant; a trainee surgeon's brutal daily regime; and much more. Morris also documents the years of research, the millions of dollars spent, the developments and setbacks, and the future of health care.
