Thoughts from the transition zone

Article Abstract:

The kinds of feelings and emotions are described that doctors and relatives of patients experience, both in the donor zone and the recipient zone, when a heart is transplanted from a teenager who had died in an accident in the donor zone to another needy teenager in the recipient zone. The transition zone in such a case is important, requiring speedy air travel, with pilots to transport the organ and the doctors safely from zone to zone in a time frame that will allow the heart to recover without damage.
