I'm Glad You're Not Dead: A Liver Transplant Story

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.
