A Time for All Things
"Lake Charles: 1908-1926 Along the cool sequester'd vale of life, They kept the noiseless tenor of their way. September 23, 1996 KLM Flight 287 rolled to a seamless stop on the tarmac, and settled on its wheels under the translucent Moscow sky. A contingent of American heart surgeons and support staff blinked and stretched. Their leader was famous for dozing off as soon as the wheels were up on any flight of length, and more than one of his retinue had mimicked that feat on this last leg of their journey from Houston via Amsterdam. This was not the first sojourn to Russia for their Chief - that had been back in 1958, when the country had another name and quite another polity. Many other visi...

Every Second Counts
The dramatic race to transplant the first human heart spanned two years, three continents and five cities against a backdrop of searing tension, scientific brilliance, ethical controversy, racial strife and emotional turmoil. It culminated in a terrifying moment in the early hours of 3 December 1967 when, in a cramped operating theatre in a Cape Town hospital, Professor Chris Barnard stared into an empty cavity from which he had just removed a heart. He knew that he had only minutes left to make history and save the life of a 55-year-old man by filling the gaping hole in his chest with a heart which had just been beating inside a 25-year-old woman. Every Second Countsis the story of this gripping race to conquer the greatest of medical challenges. It also reveals the truth about the man at the centre of it all, whose turbulent life story was just as gripping. The kind of true story that would be dismissed as far-fetched if presented as fiction, it combines an utterly compelling portrait of cutting-edge science with raw human drama, and shows how the course of medicine itself was changed for ever.
