It wasn't until later in life that he found himself in a hospital emergency room where he discovered that he had congestive heart failure. He also learned that his disorder is referred to as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This became a catalyst for two heart transplants and a kidney transplant. A compelling story of grit and determination for survival during many months at Stanford. * * * * \"You made us look good.\" Dr. Norman Shumway, M.D., Stanford Surgeon* * * * * Once or twice in a lifetime we encounter the spirit of a giant in the body of a man. Don Coover refused to let the limitations a genetic disorder placed on his body dim the glow of his infectious spirit, and as such he was an inspiration to us all. - Dr. James Palleschi, M.D. * * * * A heart-warming story of Don's resilience to the obstacles of life. He copes with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, congestive heart failure, his subsequent need for two heart transplants, a kidney transplant, and the arduous recovery at Stanford University Hospital. But what comes through best in this remarkable tale of survival is Don's caring humanity--at every encounter over our past twenty-plus years, Don will ask me, \" How are YOU doing, Doc? Is everything going well with YOUR family?\" Dr. Gregory Hopkins, Cardiologist * * * * \"A well-written and highly positive outlook for future transplant patients.\" Dr. Alan B. Gazzaniga, M.D. Cardiovascular Surgeon (Author Seeds of Doubt) *Statement made to Don Coover and other heart transplant patients at Stanford Medical Center.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Coover,Donald Coover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481045679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481045674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Mary Coover","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48622499266815,"sku":"9781481045674","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-left-my-heart-at-mary-coover-9781481045674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
