Enjoying work or burdened by it? How anaesthetists experience and handle difficulties at work: a qualitative study.

abstract：:Some recipients of isolated, orthotopic lung transplants have now survived to leave hospital with greatly improved quality of life. Inevitably, the successful demonstration of the feasibility of these operations means that transplant centres throughout the world may wish to participate in a lung transplant programme. ...
