Product Description
This book is what is known in the trade as an illness narrative. It is the personal story of a liver transplant patient/recipient, chronicling the treatment from the onset of first symptoms through the transplant procedure. It is often humorous, always informative, supplying information that any potential patient and his/her family would want to know about liver transplantation, from symptom to success. There is a section of medical terminology; the book was carefully edited by medical personnel: hepatologist, surgeon, nurse coordinator who were a part of the recipient's "team." Other case histories are supplied briefly in order to extend the reach of the book. It is human and warm, funny and chilling, a good "read" for anyone in this time of medical miracles and new protocols. |

Now I know I'm not the only one.  5 Stars
June 10, 1999
This book was given to me by a concerned friend who read the book and couldn't believe how similiar my situation is to Elizabeth. I was a little hesitant because of the title but decided to read it anyway. I truly appreciate Elizabeth for putting her experience into words because this book put it all in perspective for me. It's not the end of the world! I'm not the only one. I am at the very, very begining of the process of liver transplantation and found this book to be comforting and informative. Everything I have gone thru so for is identical to Elizabeth's story. I also come from a family of 5 children and found that amazing. I would like to get in touch with Elizabeth. I am going to leave my e-mail address for anyone to contact me, especially Elizabeth. Thank you for putting you experience into words.
