Our neighbor Dr. John Merrill, the kidney specialist on the first renal transplant, died prior to the Nobel Prize, most unfortunately. But his grandson was our student at HMS!

How did your interest in this subject start?

WOW, really neat!

Is there a lot about John Merrill and his contribution in your book?

could you talk or comment about the recent First transplant of a genetically altered pig heart into a person?

I’ve heard that more hearts are available for transplant in some parts of the country got the very sad reason that overdoses are providing the organs

What did you mean by saying you couldn't write fiction anymore because you weren't "cool" enough? Aren't there many fiction writers in your age group? You are a great writer, why does your age matter?

UNOS is a national organization. But so many people are on the waiting list for all organs! The kidney transplant chain is a great way to get more.
