توضیحات
A surgeon carries a kidney only a few steps between two operating rooms. It has taken him a lifetime to get there.On November 30, 2009, Dr Jacques M. Jeudy performed the first kidney transplant in Haiti. .He operated on both the living donor and the recipient, carrying the donated kidney himself from one operating room to the other.The walk lasted only moments.The journey behind it has taken decades.Raised in Haiti in a middle-class family shaped by education, faith, conservative values, and extraordinary grandmother, Jeudy decided as a boy to become a physician after watching his father suffer from urinary tract obstruction. That childhood promise eventually led him through medical school and urological in Haiti, advanced surgical training in Paris and the demanding world of organ transplantation in Miami.But Haiti remained the country to which his knowledge kept returning.Six weeks after the historic transplant, the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010, changed everything. Hospitals failed. Thousands of injured people needed care. Jeudy's own brother was among them. The surgeon who had helped introduce kidney transplantation to Haiti suddenly found himself practicing medicine and general surgery amid catastrophe.The Kidney I carried: A Transplant Surgeon's Journey Through Haiti, Paris and Miami is the story of much more than one operation. It is a memoir of family, medicine, mentorship, sacrifice, faith, catastrophe, rebuilding and the complicated responsibility of bringing knowledge home.From an extraordinary childhood in Haiti to the operating rooms and wards of Paris and Jackson Memorial Hospital, from organ transplantation to earthquake medicine, from caring for patients to creating a House for poor fourteen children, Jeudy reflects on a life spent asking a deceptively simple question:What do we do with what has been placed in our hands?Ultimately, The Kidney I Carried is a story about what we receive, what we carry - and what we must eventually pass on.
