What its all about...

"The names of patients whose lives we save can never be known. Our contribution will be what did not happen to them. And though they are unknown, we will know that mothers and fathers are at graduations and weddings they would have missed, and that grandchildren will know grandparents they might never have known and holidays will be taken, and work completed, and books read, and symphonies heard, and gardens tended that, without our work, would never have been."
