"Hardy Hendren is not a household name, but he is an authentic American hero, an obsessively driven doctor whose work is studied and whose skills are sought throughout the world. He is "a surgeon's surgeon: one of the world's best," according to C. Everett Koop, former surgeon general." "Hendren is also the last of his kind, a generalist in an increasingly specialized medical world, a surgeon who has separated Siamese twins, repaired hearts, and can perform feats in the operating room that most doctors would never even consider attempting." "The Work of Human Hands is award-winning journalist Wayne Miller's captivating and inspiring account of one of Hardy Hendren's biggest challenges: Lucy Moore, a fourteen-month-old girl born with life-threatening defects of the heart, central nervous system, and genitourinary system. Before Hendren, surgeons regarded Lucy's condition as fatal. Now, largely due to Hendren's contributions, these children are saved and made normal. But even by Hendren's standards, Lucy Moore is a daunting and demanding case." "As Hendren prepares for his marathon operation, Wayne Miller takes us on an unprecedented tour of Hendren's surgical home, Children's Hospital of Boston, widely regarded as the best pediatric hospital in the United States. Children's Hospital has always been a place for trailblazers. In 1938, Robert Gross risked his career by violating his superior's orders and performing heart surgery on a child. The operation, re-created here in stunning detail, was a triumph for Gross, who became a legend in the field and a tempestuous mentor to hundreds of young surgeons, including Hardy Hendren." "By telling the story of this hospital, its lore, its people and their remarkable accomplishments in surgery throughout this century, and one brilliant surgeon's attempt to repair a severely deformed child, Miller shows us what remains exemplary about health care in America. Poignant and dramatic, lively and engrossing, with breathtaking insight into the craft of surgery, The Work of Human Hands is medical and literary journalism at its best."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
