Bud Shaw

I lived in Pittsburgh in the late 1980s-early 1990s and I remember Starzl's name though I'm not sure I really knew much about him back then. I think Dr. Shaw was gone from Pittsburgh by the time I was there, or at least I never remember hearing his name while I was there. I recognized some of the locations Dr. Shaw mentioned during his time in Pittsburgh and that made me remember some nice memories.

I found the book interesting but probably not one I would read again (so not a 5 star rating). I enjoyed learning about the early days of liver transplant surgeries and realizing how far the field has come.

I'm not quite sure I fully understood the title--there really wasn't a scene I remember that Dr. Shaw said was "his last surgery case" or his last time in the OR.… (altro)
