Chen reveals the ambivalence of the surgeon-harvesting organs from young, healthy people only to watch patients often die despite her best efforts. Even after years of intensive medical training, many doctors still cannot resolve their attitude about death and dying with the reality of death: often
a long and painful process. A fascinating read for those in the medical field as well as the layman and a glimpse into the pressure-filled world of modern surgery.
