A young father with a rare form of lung cancer who has been turned down for a transplant by several hospitals. A kid considered not “smart enough” to be worthy of a transplant. A young mother dying on the waiting list in front of her two small children. A father losing his oldest daughter after a transplant goes awry. The nights waiting for donor lungs to become available, understanding that someone needed to die so that another patient could live. These are some of the stories in this memoir about Dr. Weill’s 10 years spent directing the lung transplant program at Stanford.

Fascinating Memoir
Revisado: 05-19-21
Memoir is my favorite genre of book, and Exhale by David Weill, MD is an excellent one. Exhale is a captivating combination of the author’s interesting backstory and personal healing process, heartfelt tales of his patients’ successes and losses, and a fascinating dive into the organ transplant process.
Learning how doctors race against time to find a suitable match before their patients are too sick to remain viable transplant candidates is enthralling. Many of the patients’ stories are heartbreaking, and you can definitely understand the personal and emotional toll being a transplant physician for 20 years took on Dr. Weill.
As with most memoirs, having the author read the audio version gives Exhale a deeper level of personalization so I highly recommend listening to this engaging and well written book. Whether or not you think you have any interest in organ transplantation, you will be intrigued by Exhale.
