Research medicine often has its critics, but the combination of hope, desire to live, and a doctor willing to experiment with innovative medical procedures, opens doors for many patients whose lives are on the line. After Taylor’s intestinal blood clots annihilated her digestive system, her only choice was starving to death until Dr. Jeejeebhoy agreed to take her on as a human test subject. Twenty years followed, while Judy managed to live as normal a life as possible, raising her children and loving her husband. During those twenty years, she never ate a meal, having to rely on intravenous feeding. Yet, she was able to participate in a fulfilling life thanks to TPN.
