The Wonders
“Medical pioneers are people who take risks in order to make possible what has been impossible. The risks they take mean that the survival rate of their patients is low. They operate on people others have given up for dead. They operate on people who would have died without them, and often the patients still die.
When Susan approached Leon, he was the walking dead. He was eleventh on the list of people Susan had called. Her phone call was courteous, brusque. She told him she was working for a me...dical-technology company that offered an extremely high-risk procedure for patients who had no further options for treatment. She said he would have to sign a waiver that his family would not sue if he died during the procedure or as a result of the procedure. She said the treatment would be lengthy, lonely and painful, but that it would cost him nothing in terms of money.
Only when they met did she tell him that she was the surgeon, that her husband was the engineer, that the whole venture was illegal, that Leon would probably die and that his family would never know what had happened to him, because he would have told them that he was leaving for palliative treatment overseas and could not be contacted.MoreLess
