This book covers the history of surgeries and transplants and how this affected our practices nowawadays. It also includes many of Doctor Mezrich’s own experiences as a surgeon himself.
The first half of the book mainly focused on the history and progress of transplants. Although it was very informative, I was slowed down by some of the medical terms used. It would have been very helpful if simpler terminology would have been used.
The last parts of the book focuses on the lives of the donors and patients. He explained this with his own experiences as a surgeon.
This book offered me a greater understanding of transplants and surgeries. And with my knowledge of biology, I was able to learn quite a lot.
