Customer Reviews

Excellent guide for management of organ recipents.

For countries without the book and information about the management of organ recipents as like as my conutry of Korea, this book give me a lot of information. Also, using many episodes which are familar with non-specialist, it is very easy to understand the contents. I recommend you with a great hope of long and healthy life with new organs.
