A man goes to the doctor complaining about stomach problems, and he asks him what he's been eating.
"I only eat pool balls," he says. "Red ones for breakfast, orange and yellow ones for lunch, blue for afternoon snacks, and black and purple for dinner."
"I see the problem," says the doctor. "You're not getting enough greens."
First U.S. adult heart transplantIn 1971, the first adult heart transplant in the U.S. was performed at the Stanford Medical Center, Stanford, Calif., by Dr. Norman Shumway. The 54-year-old patient, whose heart had been damaged by virus infection, survived for 15 days after the surgery. Shumway, an American surgeon, continued to pioneer in cardiac transplantation. His surgical team went on to perform many other heart-transplant operations. Later, Shumway also accomplished open-heart surgery for the transplantation of valves. |
