TRANSPLANT

An exciting thriller featuring a top heart surgeon has to choose between saving a life or saving himself. Dr. Elefteriades self-published this title a few years ago.

Renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. Athan Carras’s first concern has always been the welfare of his patients. Then, he is approached by the very wealthy and even more powerful Terry Flynnt—a man who is used to getting what he wants. His dying son is in desperate need of a heart transplant and Flynnt will do use every means at his disposal to secure a donor heart.

Immediately opposed to performing an illegal and immoral operation, Athan is caught in the crosshairs of a man with unlimited influence. Athan finds his own life—and the lives of those he loves—being torn apart. The doctor will have to decide how far he is willing to go and what he is willing to sacrifice to survive.

John A. Elefteriades, MD, is the William W.L. Glenn Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Director of the Aortic Institute at Yale University and Yale New-Haven Hospital. He is among the most clinically active academic surgeons in the country and serves on multiple scientific advisory and editorial boards.
