商品簡介
Journalist McCarthy takes readers into the world of the medical miracle, which looks pristine and rather pleasant on television but is in fact hellish and fraught with pain, emotional exhaustion and a series of inevitable small tragedies. The farmer here, Ted Fink, was burned over 93 percent of his body and required his wife, Rhoda, to make horrendous decisions alone, choosing to use artificial skin to save his life while he was in a coma for six months. McCarthy details the couple's struggle along with the science that put Ted back on the tractor, if only for a brief time. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
