About this title

Synopsis

Dr. Joseph E. Murray is a Nobel Prize-winning surgeon who pioneered techniques in organ transplantation and cranio-facial plastic surgery. In this autobiography, Murray recounts his life and career largely through telling the stories of individual patients he has helped both in the United States and in his travels abroad. He also describes his own experience as a patient recovering from a stroke. Although the subject matter is often technical, the text is written in an accessible style suitable for the general reader as well as students of medical history.
