Book Description
On September 14, 1992, during a routine autopsy, neuropathologist Mahlon Johnson's scalpel slipped and he became infected with HIV. That's when he began working on a miracle -- testing new drug combinations and therapeutic long shots on himself."Working On A Miracle" is both a suspenseful tale of medical ingenuity and an inspiring personal odyssey, a journey that changed Mahlon Johnson as a doctor and as a man. It is also a testament to the strength and heroism of the people he met along the way -- including Vickie, the HIV-positive woman who became his soul mate."Working On A Miracle" is one doctor's very personal fight in medicine's fiercest battle -- one that, so far, he appears to be winning. For according to the most sophisticated tests available, Dr. Johnson has seemingly been HIV-free for more than two years, among the longest durations on record. His story is evidence that perhaps one day in the not too distant future, the war on AIDS can be won.
