We have a plan for the day you are born and the day you die.
We can make you breathe—or at least try to—when your lungs fail and your blood can no longer clot. At the Texas Medical Center (TMC) in central Houston, we repair spinal defects before birth and replace hearts after a mother’s cardiovascular system collapses. I have watched doctors bring women back from the dead. It is an astonishing and beautiful thing.
