Dr. Eric Fong narrates about, “Extremes: Life, Death and the Limits of the Human Body” his latest gift to science and medicine. Science ever engaging us to light as does Dr. Kevin Fong as he explores human limits to extreme conditions and what ordains survival. Begins with a treacherous arctic climb and a physician pronounced DOA. Risking death leads to demiurgic medical prizes in cardiothoracic surgery, skin grafts and trauma care---in extremis---from feedback.“An alarm goes off. I nod at the surgeons. They step back from the table. We fire the defibrillator again. This is absurd. Sooner or later the rhythm of his heart will degenerate into something...”---Kevin Fong, MDPioneering medicine as life teeters on the head of a pin is what this book feels like when you interact with its many forms. Dr. Kevin Fong really is a physician and NASA expert. Human limits are erased and past that point we see the fuzzy glowing bright light blinking indicating creation and divinity. Truly epic combination of medicine and space exploration. Definite purchase.
