DAVID WEILL, M.D., is the former Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease and Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center. He is currently the Principal of the Weill Consulting Group which focuses assisting hospitals in improving their transplant programs and developing new programs in the US and throughout the world. David’s writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Newsweek, and The San Francisco Chronicle. In his new novel, “All That Really Matters,” David explores the demands, challenges and complications of a fictional transplant surgeon. We discuss his 25 year career as a lung transplant surgeon and the behind-the-scenes world of medical ethics, corporate greed in medicine and the life and death decisions made in “the selection room,” where it is decided who gets a transplant and who doesn’t.
