Subjects: Biography, History of Medicine, Transplantation, Heart

Description: This book is the autobiography of the famed South African heart-transplanter. The novelistic (conversations recreated years after they took place), breathless prose disqualifies much of Barnard's story as good medical history, but its inherent drama will hold even the critical reader. - Annals of Internal Medicine.
