I'd like to take a moment and reflect on the 30th anniversary of the world's first heart lung transplant. It was performed by Drs. Bruce Reitz and Norman Shumway at Stanford University. The patient was Mary Gohlke, she lived for five years (an amazing accomplishment considering the time), and wrote a book about her experience.
Thank you to those pioneers for without them, I wouldn't be here right now.
