Transplant surgery is as healing for surgeon Dr. Yaron Barac as it is life-saving for his patients
|
|
With each transplant surgery Dr. Yaron Barac says he is born again.
“Seeing the heart start to beat or the lungs inflate and turn pink after transplant is like watching the creation of the world every time-from scratch. It’s like the rise of the sun over the darkness of space. It’s a first breath-taking, heart-beating moment every time for me!” he says.
