| Summary, Etc. |
"Organ transplantation is one of the great advances in modern medicine, providing a second chance at life for people of all ages. In 2024, a record-setting 48,149 transplants were performed in the United States. Unfortunately, there's still a critical shortage of available organs for transplant. At any given time, more than 100,000 people are awaiting a transplant in the United States. This book was written to help individuals who may be candidates for transplant surgery understand the donation and transplant process and to prepare them for surgery and recover. The book also provides helpful tips for caregivers who play a vital role in all steps of organ transplantation, and it discusses the importance of organ donation and how to donate"-- Provided by publisher.
