More Than a Footnote: The Story of Organ Transplantation in Australia and New Zealand

More Than a Footnote recounts the history and development of organ transplantation in Australia and New Zealand. Comprising first hand accounts from surgeons, physicians, scientists and transplant coordinators - all key participants in this story - the book details a half-century of clinical transplantation. From the laboratory aspects of transplantation and the role of Australian and New Zealand scientists, to the history of the Transplant Games, More Than a Footnote is not only a clinical history, but also a forum for the real heroes of the story - the patients, and the donors who provided them with the ultimate gift, the Gift of Life.
