...Davis, a capable organizer like her colleagues, had forearmed herself with a list of the nurses and technicians who would be available. So the double team of six "scrub nurses" (the only ones who are allowed to handle sterile instruments during surgery) and two heart-lung machine technicians were soon assembled. Of the great moment itself, Mrs. Davis, says calmly: "We were happy to be doing what we'd been waiting for so long." Nurse Peggy Hartin, who headed one of the double teams, recalls: "I stopped being nervous when we stepped into the familiar routine that Dr. Shumway...
...Magellans, Drakes and Joshua Slocums. Fleet Street printed reams on his every tack; BBC cameras traced his tortuous rounding of Cape Horn; the Queen knighted him in midpassage. Sailors and landlubbers alike marveled at the ability of a 65-year-old man, who had won a bout with lung cancer eight years earlier, to survive everything from chronic leaks to a capsizing in the Tasman Sea. But any temptation to romanticize Chichester's feat will be quenched by a reading of this distillation from his 200,000-word...
...might otherwise be painfully stark functionalism are restrained psychedelic and op-art motifs. New plastics and transistors are responsible for many of the objects' compactness. Advanced technology and electronics also play a role in dozens of esoteric devices, ranging from a portable medical ventilator (replacing the old iron lung) to a child's styrene-and-aluminum balance scale. Royal's stylishly minimal duplicator, Honeywell's computer console and Pitney-Bowes's addresser-printer are a visible reminder that thou sands of offices already boast such good-looking equipment...
Louis Block, 58, a retired fireman, had suffered a succession of heart attacks while he ran a radio-TV business in The Bronx. His heart grew bigger but weaker, causing a corresponding lung deterioration. Block was referred to Brooklyn's Maimonides Medical Center, where Surgeon Adrian Kantrowitz had already attempted the transplant of a baby's heart (TIME...
...William Angell removed her heart. Dr. Shumway did not have it perfused with blood, as had been done in South Africa, while Kasperak was prepared for the implant. He simply had it kept in a cold saline solution, at about 50°F. Kasperak, on a heart-lung machine, was cooled hardly at all. Applying experience gained from years of experimental surgery on animals, Dr. Shumway left in place two quadrantal areas of Kasperak's heart, with venae cavae and pulmonary veins attached-analogous to the distributor cap of a six-cylinder car with its spark plug leads. Then...
