Abstract
Vivian McAlister’s experience as a small-town doctor, key member of a legendary London transplant team and a soldier who enlisted at age 52 — and went through basic training — caught the eye of researchers looking for a surgeon who was resourceful and willing to push the limits. McAlister is exploring a new frontier in medicine — operating in near-zero gravity.
