《一颗心的故事:两家一心,医学奇迹挽救了孩子的生命》[有声书]
A riveting and inspiring true story of two families linked by one heart—written by a bestselling author and palliative care doctor. The first of our organs to form and the last to die, the heart is both a simple pump and the symbol of what makes us human; as long as it continues to beat, there is hope. In The Story of a Heart, Dr. Rachel Clarke interweaves the history of medical innovations behind transplant surgery with the story of two children—one of whom desperately needs a new heart. One summer day, nine-year-old Keira Ball was in a terrible car accident and suffered catastrophic brain injuries. As the rest of her body began to shut down, her heart continued to beat. In an act of extraordinary generosity, Keira’s parents and siblings immediately agreed that she would have wanted to be an organ donor. Meanwhile nine-year-old Max Johnson had been in a hospital for nearly a year, valiantly fighting the virus that was causing his young heart to fail. When Max’s parents received the call they had been hoping for, they knew it came at a terrible cost to another family—in what Clarke calls “the brutal arithmetic of transplant surgery.” The act of Keira’s heart resuming its rhythm inside Max’s body was a medical miracle. But this was only part of the story. While waiting on the transplant list, Max had become the hopeful face of a campaign to change the UK’s laws around organ donation. Following his successful surgery, Keira’s mother saw the little boy beaming on the front page of the newspaper and knew it was the same boy whose parents had recently sent her an anonymous letter overflowing with gratitude for her daughter’s heart. The two mothers began to exchange messages and eventually decided to meet. This is the unforgettable story of how one family’s grief transformed into a lifesaving gift. Clarke relates the urgent journey of Keira’s heart and explores the history of the remarkable surgery that made it possible, stretching back over a century and involving the knowledge and dedication not just of surgeons but of countless nurses and technicians, immunologists and paramedics. The Story of a Heart is a testament to compassion for the dying, the many ways we honor our loved ones, and the tenacity of love.
一本扣人心弦且激励人心的真实故事,讲述了两个家庭因一颗心而联系在一起——由畅销书作家兼临终关怀医生撰写。心脏是第一个形成的器官也是最后一个死去的器官,它既是简单的泵又是让我们成为人类的象征;只要还在跳动,就有希望存在。在《一颗心脏的故事》中,Rachel Clarke 深入浅出地交织着移植手术背后医疗创新的历史与一个九岁女孩的心脏故事。某年夏天的一天,九岁的凯莉·鲍尔(Keira Ball)遭遇了一场可怕的车祸,并遭受了严重的脑部创伤。随着她的其他身体部分开始关闭,她的心脏仍然在跳动。在一个令人惊叹的慷慨行为中,凯莉·鲍尔的父母和兄弟姐妹立即同意让她成为器官捐赠者。与此同时,九岁的马克·约翰逊(Max Johnson)已经在医院里待了将近一年,他在顽强地与导致他年轻心脏衰竭的病毒战斗。当马克·约翰逊的父母接到他们一直在等待的通知时,他们知道这对另一个家庭来说代价惨重——Clarke称之为“移植手术中的残酷算术”。 凯莉的心脏在马克的身体内恢复跳动,这是一次医学奇迹。但这只是故事的一部分。 在等待器官捐赠名单期间,马克成为了一个改变英国器官捐赠法律的运动中希望的面孔之一。 在他的成功手术之后,凯莉的母亲看到报纸首页上的小男孩露出了微笑,并意识到那是父母最近给她寄匿名信表达感谢的女孩。这两名母亲开始相互发送信息并最终决定会面。这是关于一个家庭的悲伤如何转变成拯救生命礼物的故事。Clarke 描述了凯莉心脏旅程的紧迫性,并探索了让这成为可能的令人难以置信手术的历史,追溯到一个多世纪前,涉及不仅外科医生的知识和奉献精神,还有无数护士和技术人员、免疫学家和急救人员的知识和奉献精神。《一颗心脏的故事》是对对濒死者的同情、我们如何以多种方式纪念我们的亲人以及爱的韧性的一种见证。
