Sometimes it hurts to give...and to receive. Really hurts.
Judge Joseph Spencer needs a heart transplant. It's taken a lot
of fast talking from his wife and doctor to convince him, but he's
finally capitulated. While in preoperative holding and just minutes
before his surgery, Spencer recognizes the donor of his new heart-a
man guilty of a ruthless crime. Spencer's sedation makes it
impossible for him to protest this unimaginable horror, and he
loses consciousness before anything can be done.
Spencer's doctor, chief heart-transplant surgeon Ross Fairing,
confronts his own consternation that a courageous and innovative
operation has created an ethical conundrum that could destroy his
transplant program. But even more, it could erode the public's
trust in its physicians, reduce the criminal justice system to
ineptitude, and facilitate civil disorder.
Spencer survives the surgery but becomes suicidal, leading
Fairing to uncover a deadly hospital conspiracy. A disgruntled
surgeon and a vindictive cardiology fellow are involved with a
member of the criminal justice system whose personal agenda could
destroy all that Fairing has worked for-and end Spencer's life in
the process.
Morality and medicine collide with the criminal justice system
in "The Donation," shining light on one of the most pressing and
controversial issues in the medical field today.
