La casualità di un banale esame medico lo pone di fronte a una tremenda rivelazione: ha un tumore al rene e bisogna intervenire con urgenza. Così, con il ricovero, la vita di Luigi cambia drasticamente e si reduce a un'unica semplice realtà: l'ospedale, il reparto, i compagni di stanza, infermiere e caposala, i medici e, fra questi, su tutti, la mitica presenza del professor Zamagna, genio della chirurgia urologica, che vive solo per operare e che a Luigi appare un salvatore.

When the beautiful Kit goes to meet an anonymous stranger - who's been sending her roses - the man drops dead at her feet before she even could even get his name. Game on.

In comune hanno il fatto di essere nati due volte.

The Trauma ICU of a Level 1 trauma center is the setting for this thought-provoking novel, which reveals the ruthlessness of medical education and practice. James Fleming recounts a day in the life of a resident in emergency medicine at an urban teaching hospital. The novel's title, which translates loosely as I thirst, echoes the Christ of St. John. Tengo Sed's protagonist, however, known only as Hovercraft because he is always around, always feeling on edge, is not a savior but a hapless resident with a tendency toward mysticism.
