Any book that will sell either has to be so outrageous that no one will
credit it (See Harry Potter series for example), or contain a touch of reality.
I ran the idea past a friend, who says if two people need heart
transplants, there is no doctor who will switch two bad hearts. She has a point. So
if you are looking for reality, this isn't the way to go. If you want to
be outrageous, however, go a step farther, and make it magic, and then it
will fly. Just don't make the hearts in poor physical shape. Remember the
Bewitched series? The wicked mother in law was always doing something
magical to give Darren an understanding of other people, and it was one of the
more popular TV series around.
On the subject of communication: When David worked at the hospital, often
he had deaf patients. If there were no interpreters available, a
communication problem ensued. He solved it by using his laptop with screen reader.
So he would type the question. The deaf person would read the screen,
and type his/her answer, which David would hear. It was a way around the
red tape of lining up interpreters. That's what you made me think of with
the communication problem.
