PREFACE<br >There are some people on earth who cannot bear to live an ordinary<br >life.

Its story offers a window into<br >the frailties of modern medicine--the petty jealousies and arrogance，<br >the fears and ambitions， the bureaucratic paralysis--that can produce<br >tragedy.

I owe thanks to several<br >PREFACE ix<br >
