"Lifeliner: The Judy Taylor Story" by Shireen Jeejeebhoy tells the tale of vibrant Torontonian Judy Taylor after she falls ill and faces death by slow starvation. But a young doctor offers her life with a catch -- she can never eat again. This award-winning book tells the amazing true story of a young woman who made medical history as the first person to live at home on intravenous feeding without eating any food for over twenty years. Because of Taylor's tenacity and willingness to be a guinea pig under Dr. Khursheed Jeejeebhoy's expert care, the life-transforming technology of Home TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) became a reality. And, as a result, this heroic medical pioneer changed thousands of lives worldwide and inspired more to overcome their own challenges and live life to the fullest.
