商品簡介
Anatomy of a Yes: Field Notes from an Organ Donation Advocate in Appalachia
By Brent Edward Whetstone
When a family faces the unthinkable, one question can change everything. Would you like to consider organ donation?
In Anatomy of a Yes, Bishop Brent Whetstone - chaplain, advocate, and voice for rural health equity - takes readers to the quiet corners of Appalachian hospitals, where faith and medicine meet the limits of time. Through vivid narrative and field notes drawn from years of frontline work in organ and tissue donation, Whetstone captures the fragile, human moments between loss and legacy.
Set against the backdrop of Appalachia's complex beauty and its deep-rooted mistrust of healthcare systems, this book explores what it means to serve, to listen, and to help families find meaning in their most painful hour. Each chapter offers an unflinching look at the decisions families make, the cultural barriers that shape them, and the sacred intersection of death, dignity, and the gift of life.
Part memoir, part social reflection, and part public health witness, Anatomy of a Yes reveals the unseen world of donation advocacy - a world where data and compassion must coexist, and where one person's "yes" can echo through generations.
This is not just a book about organ donation. It is a meditation on humanity, hope, and the quiet courage of those who say yes when everything in them aches to say no.
