...faded. Madrazo credits his team's success to modifications in surgical technique. The Swedes had transferred the adrenal tissue directly into a C-shaped structure in the middle of the brain called the caudate nucleus, where dopamine exerts its primary effects. The Mexicans, by contrast, used surgical staples to anchor the cells onto the exterior of the caudate, which is continually bathed in cerebrospinal fluid. This nourishing bath may have helped the graft survive. In addition, Madrazo says, he transplanted "much more" tissue than did his predecessors...

And he is so keyed into the cliches ordinary people use, both to express and to hide from their feelings, that he presses all irony out of the dialogue. This does pay off in two climactic hospital scenes where the raw exposition...
