Second wind
oral histories of lung transplant survivors /[electronic resource] :Mary Jo Festle. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource (xvi, 280 p.) :ill. - Palgrave studies in oral history. - Palgrave studies in oral history..
Includes bibliographical references (p. [213]-274) and index.
End-stage lung disease -- Sociomedical history of lung transplantation, 1963-2000 -- Making the decision and being evaluated for transplant -- Waiting and coping -- Getting "The Call" -- Second wind: life after transplant with a donor lung -- Quality of life after transplant -- Lung transplants in the twenty-first century.
Organ transplantation is unlike most other medical procedures: its key component (a useable human organ) is incredibly rare, and this scarcity has led to many social, ethical, and legal issues, which have played out in hospitals, popular media, and the halls of Congress. This book uses both oral and conventional historical methods to describe and analyze the history of lung transplantation in the U.S. While drawing on accounts from doctors and other specialists, the book primarily focuses on the experiences of patients, following them through the process of deterioration from their disease, evaluation for a transplant, the often agonizing wait to be called, and the postoperative period in which the dangers of infection and rejection hover and psychological issues are difficult. Through the words of patients who have received lung transplants, Second Windexplores themes of uncertainty, timing, identity, coping, and quality of life.
