A tumor of the lung would mean death ... but the technique of grafting a culture-grown lung segment to a portion of natural lung required enormous surgical skill, and the finest microscopic instruments that could be made in order to suture together the tiny capillary walls and air tubules. And if one lung were destroyed, a Moruan had no other to take its place.
There was nothing he could answer to that, and he realized it. What could he say? That the situation seemed quite different now than it had under pressure in the Moruan operating room? That he would have been blamed just as much if he had gone ahead, and then lost the case? His fingers stole down to Fuzzy's soft warm body for comfort, and he felt the little creature cling closer to his side.
"Oh, not the entire organ, just a segment," the Moruan said. "The tumor had caused an obstructive pneumonia " "Are you talking about a segment of lung?" Dal said, almost choking. "Of course. That's where the tumor was." Dal swallowed hard. "So you just decided to replace a segment." "Yes. But something has gone wrong, we don't know what." "I see."
They're keeping a patient alive with a heart-lung machine right now, and they can't finish the job. It looks like it might be bad." The Moruan who escorted them across the city to the hospital was a huge shaggy creature who left no question of the evolutionary line of his people.
