...table was a man of 50 whose heart had been seriously damaged by rheumatic fever. Electrodes taped to his ankles and wrists led to an electrocardiograph screen. He had a blood pressure cuff on the left arm, and the usual tube down the wind pipe, hooked up to an oxygen cylinder. Surgeon Bailey-scrubbed and all but mummified in sterile gear-stepped up to the table.
