The puzzle people : memoirs of a transplant surgeon

Starzl, a pioneer in human organ transplantation, eloquently recounts the history of this miraculous field, its major players, and the legal and ethical issues that surround it. Starzl's medical genius and influence on these sometimes controversial procedures have been acknowledged and acclaimed worldwide. "This hard-to-put-down book is more interesting than a thriller. ... Not only a portrait of an interesting person and his social and family interactions and a look into the transplantation field, but also an excellent overview of health care."--JAMA
