...dental practice, Blaiberg was bedfast. It was problematical whether he would hold out for another month or even a week. In these circumstances, Barnard felt fully justified in removing Blaiberg's heart and replacing it with that of a young "Cape Colored" (half-caste) man, Clive Haupt, who had died of a stroke. The surgical technique, worked out by Stanford University's Dr. Norman E. Shumway Jr., was clear-cut and immediately successful. It was only after the operation that the real struggle began...
Amid gossip of a second heart transplant for South Africa's Dr. Philip Blaiberg, 59, there arose a question of propriety. Mrs. Dorothy Haupt, 22, whose husband was the donor of the heart Dr. Blaiberg is using, said if he gives it up, she wants it back. Why? Because a spiritualist said her dead husband could not rest without his heart. If the heart is returned, Mrs. Haupt plans to bury it in her husband's grave. "I would do it myself," she said...
...everyone involved in the transplant was on the move. Blaiberg expected soon to go to a seaside cottage south of Cape Town, and was talking about a 1969 visit to Europe. Surgeon Christiaan N.

...Shock. It fell to Dr. Raymond Hoffenberg, the duty doctor at Groote Schuur at the time, to assess Haupt's condition and his chances of survival. Hoffenberg concluded that even if extreme measures were used to support breathing, the patient could not live long. He lay in a deepening coma. When Haupt's heart stopped, it was Dr. Hoffenberg who certified that he was legally dead. That came at 10:35 a.m. Tuesday. One group of surgeons began to remove Haupt's heart. In the operating room where Washkansky had received his transplant other surgeons had Patient...
...they opened his chest and made the necessary connections to a heart-lung machine to supply oxygenated blood to his body (except the heart) and brain. Then they removed his heart. In its place, Dr. Barnard installed Haupt's heart, using essentially the same technique as in Washkansky's case (TIME, Dec. 15). There was, however, a different atmosphere. The 30-man team of surgeons, physicians and nurses were less tense. As Barnard put it: "We are not going into the unknown-we are going where we have been before." Another difference was encouraging. The transplanted heart began...
